Assistance Requested - Current Accounts, ISA, Instant Access Savings

Hi all,
Okay I'm looking for a bit of advice please regarding what to do with my money:
Current Situation
Current Account - Alliance & Leicester (had over 6% interest when I switched to it over a year ago but now has dropped substantially)
Instance Access Account - Kaupthing Edge (since the move to ING Direct rate has dropped a fair amount)
ISA - N/A (no ISA at the moment as I had very little savings, now looking at the best option)
After doing some research it looks as if the Abbey current account is my best bet but them I'm not sure as to where I'd go for my ISA & IAC. Ideally I'd like to consolidate my money into a single institution (not at the expense of interest though).
Any suggestions / advice would be very much appreciated,
Leon

Well a quick update as a stop gap I've opened an e-Saver and an ISA from A+L - that should tide me over :-)0

Northern Rock have a Fixed Rate ISA paying 4.00% and a e- saver paying 3.65%.at the moment. Not sure how long these rates will last, my guess is if you want to open an account you will have to do it before the end of Monday.
Just posted too late"When the Government borrows, the citizen has to save".
