    My own thoughts exactly .

    And mine!!

    Its been a £3500 saving in the last 12 months.

    In all likelihood, rates will remain low for at least 5 years. So, that's 60 more threads like this one.

    Maybe the MPC could meet quarterly - surely that would save a few bob.

    Not really a major surprise.
    I can't see a rise before the general election and perhaps not all year. Interesting to see what happens to quantitive easing next month though.
