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!

Never going to happen. Bad gin is not worth buying. I'll just have to ration it.0 -
