Martin Lewis’ advice around cash isa

[silent majority]

The advice is always the same RD don't gamble if you can't afford to lose and spread your investments, not sure what more you can do.

I think you are teaching your grannies to suck eggs here 


I have just realised you are the same Sid who we were hunting during the british gas privatisation and claim my £5 ( i didnt realise you had nicked a hovis loaf and been deported like so many used to be)

If i played the speculative currency game (due to the spreads i won't and i also dont need to) i would like to be in the currency of the first country in the world to introduce plastic money.  Someone paid me in the plastic notes and i kept them for a few years and was amazed how much more the Australian dollars were worth after
about 4 years, checking Australia introduced plastic money in 1988 followed by NZ & Singapore


Admittably i seem to remember the A$ dollar was rubbish before then

Didn't the Isle of Man introduce plastic £1 notes in the 70's?

Premium bonds aren't that accessible Idler, particularly if you've had them a longtime. When my Dad discovered he had terminal cancer, he decided to cash his in rather than let my Mum deal with them. I remember it wasn't straight forward.

I have never had a problem in the past. Just contact them and the money is in your account within three days.
 Did your dad have a registered online account or did he just always contact them by phone?
It can only get transferred into your named account that you set up
though.

Makes sense given how much it rains there

Thank you Billy. I'm pretty good at arithmetic but I might as well not be here when it cones to stats. And mechanics and all that other incomprehensible mathematical stuff...

30,000 or more to 1 is a helluva punt...

My parents bought me premium bonds from the very first issue. Never won so much as a penny in all those years. Having said that, I never win anything anyway!

It translates, basically, to “truly horrible man.”

What a silly billy you are hound, you spend your precious time interpreting my comments to all and sundry, I give you the job and you're still not happy, you need a life old son.

[mugnapper]

Well it took a while but now we're back to name calling.
Here endeth another interesting thread.

[SydneyRover]

Yep, it's almost as bad as the football forum

Here's another old saw 'giving is better than receiving' I was totally impressed when you gave away those smart phones and other gear Kato, you are a winner.
