    I can assure you that this is not true.

    Maybe I'm just cynical? Your assurances are worth to me, what it cost you to write your response i.e. nothing!
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    The Daily Mail do market their Best Buy tables as suggested by the poster above though - trying to highlight consistent value rather than short term high rates that disappear quickly.

    "• Accounts with catches are stripped out or shown separately
    • Compiled by savings expert Sylvia Morris (right)
    • Unlike other web tables, we refuse payments from providers to appear. "

    Being a rate tart I don't use their information. I'm quite happy to take a bonus and jump ship the second there's something better out there!

    Lots of allegations and some facts. As an example AFAIK, numerous banks have recently been downgraded by Fitch, yet the report almost implies that it applies to Icelandic banks only.

    Perhaps TIM may have a vested interest in de-ramping KE?

    Don't you just love old threads ?
