You just hand over your dosh to a fund manager and they invest it for you, according to chosen risk level. Then they take a cut every year now matter how the fund performs.

Was he from Lincolnsausageshire? Could have been a young Opti, always wondered about him.
So it seems that Rach from Complaints might be on a sticky wicket, as it appears that she told a few porkies about the state of the nations finances to justify her tax and spend budget. Let's see if the media go into hysteria mode to get her to resign, like they would if a Tory Chancellor lied to Parliament and the country?
That might be the Christmas number one!
