a chart/graph of BofE interest rates over the past 30 years or whatever. I'm just curious to see what it's been over the years.

I honestly have no idea if the current base rate is average, high, low, or what. (I'm from another country, is why.)

    Savers would have been raking it in, but then inflation would have been destroying the value of their capital in real terms as well.
