    Based on the above comments, it would seem that Premium Bonds may actually be better than this GEB.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    999 for 179 days, then 1001 for just one day, surely gives an average of 999.01, which is higher than 999, which was at the start?

    Sorry, I meant to say it starts at 1000, and whatever it is over the next 5.5 years is irrelevant.
