Barclays the best one as they most established and also they got a very nice debit card that I just received yesterday in replacement of my old one.

Lloyds TSB imo is another good one very established aswell and also last year I remmebr they were giving out free ipod shuffles to new applicants. So you know whichever tickles your fancy, but go for the big banks.

Are you crazyy?! Northern Rock??! Have you not been seeing the news lately month ago, Northern Rock were having major problems and were all over the news so they are a total no no, they totally out of the question!

Rule of thumb always go with the major banks companies and most established companies. Go with either Barclays, Lloyds TSB, HSBC or Natwest. They are the major ones, they never flop unlike Northern Rock.
