I have emptied the account after the final £250 was put into the regular saver but I'll keep it open - at the least as it's useful for a future switch at the least with 2x DD on the account to qualify and I just left them there

Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
