Oversubcripition to money auction

Bloomberg: BOE Received Most Bids in Three Months at Auction

The Bank of England said financial institutions bid for 50 billion pounds ($99 billion) in its weekly auction, the most in three months, as a worsening shortage of credit increased the need for central bank funds. The Bank of England offered 13.7 billion pounds in today's sale, it said in a statement in London. That made the operation more than three times oversubscribed. Total bids were the most since Jan. 10.

Don't know quite what to make of this:

1) Banks have no money to lend - oh s***.
2) Banks want cheap money from the govt - rip of tax payer and make more profit.
3) All of the above.

Question is where are they investing all this cheap cash? Oil and grain? And how freaking long are they going to keep receiving this! And don't think that the conservatives would be much better.
