pthey were unwilling to accept the legal 11 month licence extension applied by DVLA last year. So Investec applied their modern version of Apartheid and told me to get lost.

As above, good to see you didn't over react then?
That has to be the most ridiculous comparison I have ever heard in my life.

I consider that Investec ignored the UK law by refusing to recognise the government rule on validity of photocard driving licences:

Their breach of regulation should be penalised by a court of law:

That extension expired last Tuesday, btw..

They chose to reject my formal complaint and refused to have it escalated to Financial Ombudsman.

The decision about FOS escalation is yours alone - a financial institution can't deny you your regulatory right to do this as you don't need to involve the institution at all when escalating, you just unilaterally take your unresolved complaint to FOS....

My personal top picks are Marcus at 0.60% and Coventry at 0.65%.

Cynergy at 0.70% but as I spread my money I also have Coventry Shawbrook Marcus YBS Ford and a couple of others. Cynergy is highest at 0.70%

Cynergy is ok but you have to remember when you opened the account as the interest is paid upon reaching the anniversary

...or upon account closure presumably, so you'll still get the interest that's due to you, whether you see the year out or not.

Tesco Bank increased the rate on its internet-operated easy access account. Internet Saver now pays 0.69% gross yearly, including a 0.59% bonus for 12 month

No doubt they don't uplift existing Internet Saver accounts and we'll have to go through the bother of opening a new one and transferring money across to get the extra 0.09%.....still "every little helps"
