Best Savings account
SA says;
Well you looked so stylish I thought you batted for the other camp - thats like the ultimate compliment!
I couldn't imagine you ever having a hair out of place!

On the assumption that you need a personal account rather than a business account... the best savings account to my knowledge is the Icesave account (www.icesave.co.uk) which will, in a couple of weeks, be paying 5.45% AER net, or 4.36% (or thereabouts, depending on your income) gross.
Put away ten grand and you'll get roughly £436 at the end of the year. Maybe even enough to keep up with inflation.
Or if you've not yet done so, you could put away 3 grand of your cash in a mini cash ISA account, which generally pay around 5% gross, tax free - so in the region of £500 per year... -

Gilts yield is about the same 5.2 or so, only way to beat that with cash is to drip-feed a Regular Savings account.Comment

I've read about numerous people having problems with ICICI though ... really basic & fundamental things.
n5gooner, the people on the forums at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/ are nothing short of obsessive about finding the best deals on savings accounts - you might want to head over there for an in-depth discussion.Comment
