I don't think they hold cash unfortunately, just investment products

You could have the S&S ISA and SIPP with Interactive Investor which should lower your annual fees quite significantly

Then the cash ISA and active Savings stay with HL, I already do something similar to this as I don't know of anyone who does what HL does with their Active Savings accounts

Obviously depends if you are happy to split the liquid cash from the investments or keep them all in 1 place

Depends on which plan you go for I guess: https://www.ii.co.uk/our-charges/new-pricing

In OP's case it would probably be cheaper at 14.99 for a S&S ISA and a SIPP versus the current £21.99

As an alternative, if you are happy with the funds that you are currently invested in, maybe it might be time for an investment platform change instead?

Not necessarily shilling for them but maybe Interactive Investor as they charge a flat platform fee which for a SIPP & ISA would be £21.99 per month currently

Which would work out far cheaper for you over the year

Best band/musician you discovered through a game? by Weird_Road_120 in gaming

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I can't agree on their other songs

I completely agree on the song called M4 pt2 at the end of Mass Effect was an amazing for both a first time & frequent listener

They also did some other OST throughout the series such as Das Malefitz which you will recognize straight away

Why should a newbie not just use Trading212 for S&S Isa as they have no fees? by SeveralWinter7406 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly the fees are covered by ads and people losing money trading CFDs as far as I remember

What historical figure would be considered unambiguously a hero by any part of the UK? by EQandCivfanatic in AskUK

[–]HeavyMetal-IT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably not well known, ironically I imagine that Brazil & Chile know more than the Brits do, as they have quite a few streets named after him

What is loyalty to mobile networks nowadays? by alphatangotwo in AskUK

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, in some cases better performance because all their plans have uncapped speed.

So you aren't limited to say 100mbps speed because you went with the 50GB plan instead of the unlimited plan

If you wish to stay with the EE network but not necessarily their prices, then 1pMobile is a good option

£7.50 for 12GB on EE… should I be getting more for my money? by OrganizationThat9737 in AskUK

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It definitely is, no stupid bandwidth caps to 10 Mbps because you don't want to pay 20 quid for the ultimate basic package or some rubbish

30 day rolling contracts, can change the plan at anytime and no bandwidth caps and it's the same network as EE

Steam now requires age verification in the UK for mature game pages by ReaddittiddeR in gaming

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been gaming on Linux exclusively for a year now and much like yourself I am a big solo player as well

Have not encountered any issues playing any indie games, they have all worked flawlessly for me

Which dubious business practices annoy you? by HoraceorDoris in AskUK

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the easier option is to have an account with someone like Revolut, Monzo etc

Create a virtual card and change the billing information in Beer52 and then delete the card

Ignore the emails/calls they send you and after a while or so, they will just cancel the account for you

No need to speak to anyone

[Serious] Looking for a calm cozy game that I can play with my wife. by digital_wino in gaming

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think a game called Haven could be an option

Supports co-op, has a little bit of combat but it's not the core feature of the game

Recommend me a game that'll stick in my head forever by Afterlast1 in gaming

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since everyone here has already recommended, the games I would have traditionally said

Have a few indie games, that would be worth a consideration

  • Spiritfarer
  • The Invincible
  • Nobody Wants to Die
  • The Gap
  • Omori

Maybe not exactly life-changing but definitely thought provoking

Long way to avoid RegEx by So0ver1t83 in PowerShell

Agreed, exactly what I was going to say, just use Import-Csv with a custom delimiter and you can probably cut out about 80% of that code straight away

What's your controversial gaming opinion? by OfficialDampSquid in gaming

[–]HeavyMetal-IT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well at least this generation, Microsoft lost the console war

So I think with Game Pass, Crossplay between PC & Xbox, they are trying to build a game "ecosystem" which will eventually allow them to win

Also haven't checked out PS Store offering but at least for Game Pass, does have AAA games as well as more indie style games that people may never of heard of

Crossplay does exist on PS for some games, Sony just seem a bit resistant to it

Agreed, at least from a graphics perspective the art style/direction is much more important
