    I think Dr. Pricklepants might need to prescribe a laxative judging by the number of books on the toilet shelf.

    Anyway...let's move on from dervprof's OCD issues and get back on topic, please.

    I disagree it will take 5 years or more to see rates at 1% or above. Probably growth H1/13 won't be strong enough to warrant any rises, but I can easily see 1% by the end of the year.

    Maybe. I think we can all agree that we won't see BoE rates at 4 or 5% any time in this decade. :)

    Can't see that happening at all. We'll be lucky to breach 1% for a couple years yet IMO.

    yes, but could be years away, maybe 10 ? not going to happen in the next couple of years, or we could be like japan and have low interest rates for 20 years,

    when do you think rates will be 5% how many years away?
