Invest £1,000 in here for a year and you will get back 10p after one year.
:o :shock: :o :shock:

I would suggest putting it into a pension pot.
Does the government still top this up by 25%?

I'm not sure if they give you it because it's just tax.

If you have £9,999 in this account you will get a staggering £1.00 for the same period.
If I had £9,999 quid in the bank I would update my car as soon as possible.

As an investment this would be poor but if it helps you make money it's one of the best investments.
