    and would never asked the 1st question .

    Maths isn't the problem as I hold a BSc in that from university in the 70's. Now English language is a different matter as I only have a GCE in that.:)

    One of the statements TrustyOven posted - "Additional interest is not paid on balances over £5,000." - would appear to clarify the situation for the sake of just one extra word.
