Maybe they thought that john banks was a rival savings company so they gave you special rubbish rates...

I used to be with them, but they didn't pass on interest rate rises and sent out a condescending blanket e-mail explaining how their customers had actually approved of them not raising rates, in a roundabout, utter bollocks kind of way. Left them for Icesave, whose rates are much better, but who are not covered in quite the same way if they were to go bust.
I remember reading that something like 35-40% of ING's customers left them as a result of them not passing on the rate rises.

Ditto, have 7% fixed for a year with ICICI and Icesave, and last years NS&I index linked is effectively about the same at the moment for a basic rate tax payer. Given tax and inflation you owe it to yourself to find the best rates, otherwise you're losing money in real terms.
