Are interest rates likely to go up again in the uk this year?

I am thinking of changing from a variable to fixed rate mortgage (4.95%). it sounds like a nice deal as there seems to be no suggestion of rates coming down in the short to medium term. what do people think?
Answer
Interest rates need to be hiked considerably as people like me who have money are not getting interest from the building societies who lend my money to people like you to buy nasty little houses over 25 years
