Barclays 5 Year Fixed Term Bond

Oooer just logged into my Barclays account, some message about a 5 years fixed term bond paying 5%.

Tempting....or not?

Make it 2 years and I am in. :-)

    Most people think the recession will be followed by a period of inflation, the only question is when.

    For that reason I would not recommend fixing for more than 2 years at the most, and I have only been doing 1 year fixes so far.
