I suppose if they are paying me and others 6.5% (fixed for 4 years) in my cash ISA's, I can see why they might make a loss.
It is not fair that it is battering my Barclays shares:mad:'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

I might be wrong but I thought 6.2% was the tops HBOS went to for 4 years.
Still not bad.
Personally can't see much upside with BB. I'll sell mine if they make 1300 -
