Probably also a pathetic return. £1,050 so more than four times as much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair. Ive got a very small amount in them. Normally get £25 every so often but its money I can call on if i ever need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I’ve stuck with it, the money isn’t supposed to be sat somewhere for very long and I need access to it sporadically. The gambler in me said, “You never know, might win £1m!”. As a long term investment though it just doesn’t stack-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do share any decent long term knowledge, I’m getting 0.25% on the money sat in my savings account! The money in my stocks and shares ISA is up and down daily but I imagine come the end of the year it’ll be much better off than in the bank!

Bought a brand new BSA Cadet the same year for £6-12s, sold it 10 years later for £5, and it gave me a lot more pleasure than those Bonds. Of course, either Ricko or I might win the big prize next month..... If you had kept your B S A Cadet in good condition it would have given you very good interest if sold at today prices , if we had only known then what we know now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I wonder would a nice gun go up in value better than a savings account these days? a 697 EELL diamond silver pigeon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
