I acquired all of my SSE shares scrip issues against my original £100.00 investment in the old Southern Electric. V happy with the £25k pot they have become.

Received my cheque in Saturday's post😁

I sopke with e******i this morning. They confirmed receipt of my offer acceptance and assured me that the sale proceeds will be in my account within a couple of days.

Couldn't agree more. What a shame that a poster feels the need to use such a term.

Yes, I have 800 which were effectively freebies issued because I held electricity shares. My understanding is that CGT doesn't apply if the shares are held in an ISA. If they aren't, you need to sell , set up a stocks ISA and buy the shares in. All of which assumes rules don't change in the interim and you haven't already used your allowance..

Hi. I'm a long time shareholder having benefitted from the utilities' privatisation back in the 90s. I've simply held the NG shares ever since, taking new shares as scrip every 6 months. I'd like to buy more shares given the divi etc. Any recommendation as to how best to do this if one is not a trader ? Thanks.
