Just remember that from this year Cumbria is no more and the counties revert to previous identities of Cumberland, and Westmorland (also contains N Lancashire and a bit of West Riding).

Fuelled by much Guinness and red wine, I would have sworn that I was witnessing Bono, the Edge et al.
Point being that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. When the alternative esk delivers at the level of the original then the tribute will be complete.1 -

Charter Savings Bank Issue 28
If you look at the interest summary on their website:
https://www.chartersavingsbank.co.uk/Help/InterestRateSummary
Shows issue 28 (any 30 and below) going up to 2.9% today.
The email from them stated 3%.
Only have a pound in there currently, so can someone with 5K+ in it confirm what the rate change actually is.
Thanks1 -
