Not the return it was but still a good investment.

I didn't back it but it lost by 60 lengths!!
Give it to me and I'll invest it wisely in wine, women and song

Errrr.......the previous £10k didn't help much, so I doubt if another ten would

I'd buy shares in Magners.
Well, when I say 'shares' what I actually mean is...............

It was quite a long race though 2miles 4 iirc, so 60 lengths in percentage terms is not that bad, so in truth it was out by 2% maybe.. That's one way to look at it. I had it e/w when it was longer odds early and still it lost! Lol

It's my Dads money, he's 77 and just needs somewhere to put it so that it makes more than 0.05% interest. Was wondering if there's any 4 or 5% places he could put it.

You could put it in to a bluechip company and collect the dividends. I have some GSK shares which have been steady and dividend is decent

That's what I told him basically, I said it's not worth locking something up for 3yrs just to get maybe £1000, he'd probably be dead by then and if not I'd give him the £1000 if he needed it....
BUT... in the mean time where should he put it? Like I said I'm thinking about premium bonds..... the only problem I can see with those is how easy is it to get the money if he dies?
(I was thinking about getting him to go to national savings bonds and taking all my money/wifes and kids and getting him to put it in there too 4% is 4% more than I'm getting!)

Very easy. You just write to them plus the bonds can be kept in for a year after death if the cash isn't needed.
