    Fixing using the 24th August 3.2% offering, for example, a few weeks after the rate decision, will turn out to be a bad time to fix if another 0.5%+ rise happens next week and rates are ~3.7% in 4 weeks time (~19th October). At that point, if there's another rise in the 3rd November meeting, an argument could be made to hold off until a few weeks after that. And so the cycle repeats until we think the MPC will hold rates steady.

    To be honest, I didn't know what the data would suggest until I delved into it.
