Hi,

Your best account would be an ISA. Have a look on Martin's weekly email for best rates.

Also - just so you know. If you want to write WER as in as what the best accounts wer it is spelt WERE. Another example in a sentence would be We WERE going to go to the pub but we changed our minds.

If you wanted to spell WER as in WER to put wages that would be WHERE. A good way to remember it is that if you say where with an exagerated posh accent it sounds like W - hair. so you know where has an H in it and were does not.

Also - wat always has an h in it so that is WHAT.

I'll leave g at the end of wonderin as I assume you know that one and you were just text speaking - ooo see another use of were in a sentence!

My spelling is not great but a little attention to detail can go along way - especially now you have your first real job!

Of course, you could argue that knowing what the best accounts WERE is kinda meaningless, and he / she might be better advised to look at what the best accounts ARE.

God knows bad spelling gets up my nose too, and I'd be only too ready to second your point.
But come on, aren't you going to set an example then?
Seriously...'kinda'????

Irony is not something restricted to irony boards, talana.

People get irritated by rude boy chav grammer, gives off the impression you are not serious.

Your best bet is to use an instant access account to build up some money - something like the AA or Tesco on line accounts. This doesn't give you breathtaking interest, but a bit (2.8%), which is a start. When you build up a balance then if you think you wont need it for a while then you can lock away for a few years to get something like 4-4.9% at present rates.

Still, let's give the OP a break -

They cared enough to come onto a consumer forum and seek advice, so it's not like they're trying to mug your collective grannies

Spelling's not the be all and end all of existence (and I have a 2:1 in English Literature from a decent uni).

So now you've twigged. Drop the irritating chav routine and people will be more disposed to offer advice.

As to your question, there are hundreds of choices where to put your savings.
Start by comparing on a site like moneysupermarket and decide what you're looking for. Instant access? Operated online, by telephone, in branch?

True no doubt, but doesn't a poster want to be read and understood? More than 2 sentences of chav-speak and I can't be bothered reading any more to be honest.

In fairness, I think we all understood, just some of us were a bit snippy about it
