    Why there? He would get 5.12% for the first £2,500 but then only 0.1% for the next £16,000.

    Is that what you meant or am I missing something?

    Is it worth opening a regular saver for a couple of months? I think i would put it in my Alliance and Leicester current account - but then again, i dont pay tax.
