Further BOE Rate Rise - 5th Jul 2007 9:06pm

The Bank of England has raised UK interest rates from 5.5% to 5.75%, its fifth rate rise since last August.
Its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) warned that inflation remains a danger, saying "most indicators of pricing pressure remain elevated".
Some analysts have taken that to mean there may be a further rise this year.
The higher rates will add between £15 and £20 a month to an average £100,000 repayment mortgage, but may be good for savers who should earn higher interest.

Hehe...
This country is going down!! Sooner or later people are going to pay the price for all their wreckless overborrowing on mortgages etc, and everyone will realise how weak our economy really is.
I still say it will be 6.00% by the end of the year.
