Lambeth are having a larf

Half a percent off I.S.A. interest rates w.e.f. 01/09/05.
Could someone please refresh my memory, how much did the B.O.E. lower the base rate a few weeks ago ?

    I was in Croydon last October to update my passbook at the Lambeth only to find they had closed down. I guess it was no coincidence that Croydon also have a Portman BS branch.

    I doubt it very much, I've only been with them for eighteen months.

    I don't think the assignment of windfall to charity applies in this merger.

    It didn't apply when Portman merged with Staffordshire - they'll want you to vote in favour!

    Everyone needs something to believe in.

    I believe I need another beer.

    No doubt.

    From memory, it was in a lousy location though, Specs. Not unlike several other Lambeth branches.

    I don't suppose there'll be much of a rush to transfer those accounts now :rotfl:.

    As I posted HERE, I'm sure you'll get your windfall, s_e :).
