Do you google? e.g. http://www.expat.hsbc.com/1/2/hsbc-expat/products/current-accounts/bank-account (I am not recommending HSBC - it might be good, it might not be, it was just my first google find).
Yes, I Googled.
The question I asked before was not about HSBC but Nationwide.
HSBC:
"To be eligible to bank, save and invest with us, you must maintain a minimum relationship balance of £25,000, or currency equivalent. "0 -

Why keep Euros if in UK? Exchange to GBP at a good rate in the festive season (when selling GBP/EUR is favourable - at the moment ~1.23) then buy Euros back later on in 2013, limit order 1.28-1.30.
This will outweigh any pathetic interest rate in the west, but of course, higher risk/return.
Interesting, so you're saying that the rates are better for selling GBP in Xmas, and then buy EUR in the year?0
