    Well.. the honeymoon is over, my 3 year one has matured, so no more 4% interest.

    I've let it roll over to the next 3 year issue, still pays 2.2% which isn't bad and you can get your money out any time you want.
    Worth a punt for those eligible.

    The National savings over 65 bonds were special issues that are no longer on sale.

      Correct!

      It's the point I was making.

      As I said, I've rolled over to the new issue of Guaranteed Growth Bonds, issue 56, which pays an attractive 2.2%. Though I'm sure some investments may beat that by .05%. But it was a painless transaction and you're always safe with Government bonds.
