What century could you get 8 sweets for 1p? It was probably when Black Jacks still had the highly controversial wrapper. 1963 ...4 blackjacks or 4 fruit salads for 1 d1957 ..... 4 blackjacks or 1 gobstopper (they changed colour as you sucked them) for 1d. By 1963 had moved on to Wagonwheels for 6d at the school tuck shop. Don't remember anything controversial about blackjacks. They were a form of currency!

So long since I paid money in; how do I transfer this into my MLA?

Assuming it's in cash, click invest under MLIA & enter 17p. Set a target on one of the recent loans being offered at 1% discount and you can convert your 17p into c19p, a paper return of 11% on a click. Investing 17p in a loan offered at 1% discount will give a loan holding of 17.1717171717.. pence. = 17 * (100 / 99)

Seeing as no-one else has said it here... mine was way less than 1% of the eligible amount!
(which is of course because it was a 1% annualised rate boost, not a 1% bonus which the description in the statement incorrectly states)

I thought my parenthetical comment covered it, but to spell it out, the statement entry reads: "Promotion payment for 1% Spring 2018 bonus" It was also referred to as a 1% bonus in various other places when of course it is nothing of the sort, it is a boost to the annual rate (as you say, made clear in the first line of the explanatory text, but NOT in the attention-grabbing title). I mildly object to marketing people choosing misleading titles for their promotions like this, but not so much as to bother with a formal complaint. Edit: the current promotion suffers from the same misleading effect - in the title, we see "The 0.5% Summer Bonus", and the relevant balance labelled "Current invested funds eligible for 0.5% bonus", and it's only in the "small print" below that where it corrects the misleading title with "an extra 0.5% p.a. gross target interest".

I find my "summer bonus" amount has dropped by over 80 quid - and has stayed like that for several days.
Needless to say, I've not added/removed/shifted cash off the platform.
Anyone else?

Ditto. You're not alone. My bonus was down yesterday (and is still down) by nearly 15% from what it should have been. No idea when the discrepancy first appeared. My partner's bonus figure was down by 100%, it now showing as a very small (very round) number! Expect chris will give the AC IT system (affectionately known as GOD because it 'moves in a mysterious way') a severe ‘talking to’ in due course.
EDIT: Today's bonus 'refresh' has been actioned. Money I deposited yesterday has been included (as has interest credited yesterday), but the same shortfall lingers, rather like a bad smell!
