    It's not so much a news article as a puff piece for the website: "Base rates held, use our revenue producing services".

    There was also an announcement of an additional £50m of QE (beyond the £125m already actioned) which will be interesting.
    Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.

    Are there any indications as to how long the Interest Rate will stay low for?

    At least it could'nt go above any more than 2% within 2-3 years!!
