Either that or the calculator is not a particularly reliable guide. I haven't had anything larger than a £25 win and the average is taken over several years.

So 1% expected over 1yr, and still only 5% (cumulative - so less than 1% AER) over 5yr.

Many Italian banks now in deep s*1t *right now* according to Bloomberg, so maybe they're worried about UK banks exposure to Italian banks' bad loan books...

Quite. There's a whole generation of kids growing up now who think zero interest rates and zero inflation is normal. They're in for a very rude awakening in the future if they've borrowed heavily on that basis!

We won £25 this month, £75 last and £100 the month before. Hopefully this isn't a progression.

You can't even read The Times without stumbling upon a tabloid style Outrage Bus special.
But at least the comments section tends to attract slightly less loonies compared to the Evening Standard. Perhaps because loonies don't want to pay the subscription?

About last May one of my investment matured and I paid it into my NW current account.
The counter staff insisted on taking my details so that one of their "advisors" could contact me
which she did, and I ignored her.
I just knew that she would have told me that I should put my money in some so-and-so equity bond that couldn't fail to go up because the market "always does"
That would have ended well, wouldn't it (not - except for her, of course)
