    Surely they can't go much lower?  It really makes me wonder what is the point of saving?  What are we supposed to do to get a reasonable return on the savings we were encouraged to put aside?

    The NS&I rate is political so that aside rates will be down to at least 0.50% by the autumn.

    The main point now about saving is so people do not run out of money. It is no longer about the returns.

    Interesting that the word d i c k is seemingly deemed worthy of censoring if used within posts but is apparently considered OK within a user name, as it's shown unaltered in the original post!  Seems like a bit of a !!!!-up to me....

    Depends on context. If you are trying to make a fortune selling your cat Richard then its fine. But if you are refering to a head extension then No.
