Should we really be using taxpayers’ money to subsidise Danish savers? No, I don’t think so, either. I am directed to the website of the Northern Rock subsidiary in Denmark, with a logo of a pig and the phrase “ Svinefed rente”, which appears to mean “Swilling interest”. It also reassures lenders: “Your savings with Northern Rock continue to be safe and secure, protected by the UK Government guarantee arrangements.”

Rather attractive rates – 5 per cent, if you bung in more than £500 in kroner. This compares, I am told, with the Danish equivalent of Libor, the rate at which banks lend to each other, at 4.63 per cent
