When I first took out a sharesve in 1985 the limit was £250 as an apprentice at the time I could not afford to do the whole lot and that was a lot of money then.
Here we are in 2006, 21 years later and I just got an invite through the post to participate in this years one and the limit is still £250, why does the government not increase the limits on these things, this is only one example. They are going to increase the value of duty free good to £1000 but the old figure (think it was about £100) was there since the 60's
