    Phase two of Bagger's Paradise is now in full swing.
    Mergers of building societies are all the rage.
    Have a look at all the building societies [ There are now 63 ... 62 ... 61 ... 60 as the Lambeth .... the Universal and the Mercantile say farewell ]
    With £50,000 you can set up quite a lot of Regular Saver Accounts with different building societies. Then add some fixed rate accounts. etc etc.
