Radio 2 Broadcast

Martin spoke on todays (20/08/04) Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2. Mention was made of a product from Abbey in which you could invest £2500 and you would 'double' your money.

Unfortunately I have no more information than that. If anyone could clarify the exact product and the timescale over which you could 'double' your money then please respond.

I did contact radio 2 directly but they had no information on todays show.

Many thanks

I think you may have misheard. From what I understood Martin explained to the caller that he would double his INTEREST if he moved his money from his current savings account which was paying something like 2.5% to the Abbey ISA which pays 4.8% interest and he wouldn't have to pay the tax on his interest either.

See http://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=ISAs;action=display;num=1080787079v for more info on the Abbey ISA

Hope this helps clarify.

Glad to have been of some use. It was my first post on this web site!

Good question. Totally correct answer! Thanks Stitch for that

(and the national savings investment was 3.05% taxed and abbey is 5.1% untaxed (currently) hence the doubling of interest )

Thanks for the praise Martin. I have impressed myself. Heard you on the car radio driving into town with both children talking to me at the same time about different things. ;D

Unfortunately this was the only bit of your broadcast I heard. :'(

Thanks for a fantastic website. Stitch

If you go to the BBC website you can hear the entire broadcast again.
