Cash ISA interest rates

A question about : Cash ISA interest rates

This morning's Tel: Sylvia Waycot of Moneyfacts said that the interest paid by the average ISA wouldn't pay for a sausage a week.

What a wonderful yardstick. What would it pay for?

Best answers:

• Why would you put your money in an ISA paying the average rate
  The comparison should be what can the best cash isa pay for.
• Or put your money in a non ISA account paying a decent rate.
  I'd prefer 5% taxed to 1% tax free. Helps the government out too!
• An alternative currency used to be Mars Bars.
• I like to use Big Macs. They even got their own index, so it's easy to work out whether you can get a better deal abroad.
