A blackbird's warning call can be heard for miles around. It's very distinctive.

I wonder if jno's model has used monthly interest.
I expect trt only needs an approximate figure though so either answer will do.
If you are a taxpayer the interest will be taxable though. If you pay tax at 20% the net rate falls is 2.4% pa and the value in 16 years will be just under £734.
The MSE link suggested some are paying 3.25% but they are probably introductory offers and I doubt the rate will be maintained whilst base rates are so low
