Hedgecutter Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 On the subject of phone symbols, I went to Norway a couple of months ago and ever since I've been back all of my ae's (in eg. aeroplane, nae) display as that Norwegian single letter. My phone's language settings are set to English (UK) and I've cleared the data/cache from Chrome and the P&B app, yet it always come up like Norwegian. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 What chatting with colleagues about Premium Bonds ... with interests rates still really low, you're almost as well putting your cash in Premium Bonds with a small chance of a big win... the advantage being if interest rates go up or you need the money, you can just withdraw again. So I was going to buy some, but then I realised that the draw is made on the 1st of the month, so no point in buying them yet - I'll earn a modicum of interest in the next 25 days or so. But my question is this ... is there anything to stop you buying all your Premium bonds on the last day of the month, then selling them as soon as the draw is made? Is there some sort of minimum period you need to keep them for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have French doors anywhere i can't recommend fitted blinds highly enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Pars and Falkirk posters being friends. Bairnardo keeps the doors and windows locked these days and just enters and exits via the cat flap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
