If you're not planning to save more than �3000 per year I'd consider an ISA as they're tax free. Anything other than an ISA and you'll not get the full rate advertised if you're a taxpayer. In that case, the taxman gets one fifth of the advertised rate and you get 4/5ths
Interest is what is left after the tax deduction (except for the ISA) and also what most people forget inflation. We all know that inflation is higher than the official figures dont we.
