    Doubt that we'll get any suprises until the New Year. When they eventually do rise be interesting to see what the reaction is.

    I'm no gambler, however what are the odds it is an 8-1 split?
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I doubt that they'll be that good lj. That's one bet I wouldn't mind having too otherwise.

    We're in the process of signing up for a really cheap 5 year fixed. We'll only have a few years of payments after that and can extend the period if the rates go up. Thank you BoE!

    Longest period of time in history that interest rates have stayed at the same level. (I stand corrected, this was frankly, rubbish).

    Lowest level in history.

    In 300 years, it's saying something!

    Suggest you make the most of the coming 5 years. As the credit squeeze is going to run for a lot longer time frame. With bank capital requirements deferred until 2018. To allow time for Governments to get there own houses in order there's a long slow road to be travelled.

    If I knew what "on" meant I may agree with you.....
