Thanks for the heads up.
I thought in the very least they'd keep the rate at 3.25% given that Nationwide UK look set to stir the market for a while.
Though they're probably not in need of the cash since they saw a saturation of deposits as one of the few perceived safe havens during the middle of the financial crisis.
I would not dismiss Northern Rock as it is a good option to diversify. Remember their guarantee is covered by HM Treasury, there is no limit on deposits and, as Fungus states, still up there with the top three.
