NEWD, "I actually bought my first shares in 1991 Norwich Union, i still have them to this day in paper certs"
Same here although I started with Glaxo. I also still possess the paper shares which were swapped to CGNU 30th May 2000 and now of course Aviva.
Comment here once was "how do you know they are the same shares, did you put them in a drawer" which of course was exactly what I did. Collected Dividend ever since.
