Why lose half of it when u can keep all of it... That way they're maximising the interest from the bank, have a mortgage which is paid for by the bar and kept the 1 mill.

Or.. Look at it this way, the interest for the mill pays for the mortgage meaning a free bar.

I doubt they could get interest paid on the whole amount or anywhere close to it. Many accounts will only pay interest up to an amount such as £2,500 and you can only have an account or two with each provider. Even if they could put it all in an ISA, I think they'd still pay more interest on the bar than they received.

It all struck me as a very contrived way to give Alfie bad news.

Re: The value of the Vic, Phil was asking 800k when he sold it. I think Alfie was quite desperate for it so offered above the odds.
