I'm seriously considering whacking a bit of money into bonds for a year or two and see how it does in comparison to shares.

From what I understand, you give them money, and you get put into a "raffle" every month I think, you can win upto £1m
My Nan has got them, told me she wins a few hundred a year and has won a couple of fairly large prizes, (couple of thousand), haven't got a clue how much she has got in it though, Im guess you need large amounts to win decent amounts?

Not necessarily, you just have more chance of winning as you have more entries. a bit like buying more tickets on the lotto except its risk free from what i can remember.

ah yeah, until you compare how much you could've made in other ways. I think even just interest in a bank would've beaten it by a fair way.
