Bank interest woes

Not counting Santander (interest on 11th of the month) my interest income in December was £105.55, today it is £72.29.

In May last year it was £157.01.

So that's about a 50% drop of interest in under 12 months. No more gin for me!

    Curiously, in the same amount of time, the base rate has dropped 50% too.

    Never going to happen. Bad gin is not worth buying. I'll just have to ration it.
