Nobody is more pissed off than I am that my ISA is effectively worth fuck all at the moment.
But there's a balance between sensible interest rates and ones that are affecting ordinary people's quality of life to the point where they may have no roof over their heads.

Echo.
Please bear that in mind when making your mark.

Then again I own my home outright
So don't give a shit about interest rates.

I'm kidding, of course. Whilst it would be very nice for my savings to be returning a decent investment for me, current low rates are not impacting on my general quality of life. I could be a bit less skint at the end of the month, but the debt I am paying off just now is of my own making and I am doing without stuff in order to get it paid off as quickly as I can. On balance, I'd rather have this situation than one that sees ordinary people being squeezed left right and centre.

I'd be fucked by a big interest rate rise
I almost was a few months back anyway.
