Sir, – I can understand Eamonn Balfe's frustration (December 24th) with the prize bonds but he can count himself lucky. I invested £25 in the bonds over 50 years ago and am still waiting to win something. Maybe 2015 will bring a bit of luck. Meanwhile, I wish him and all bond holders a prosperous new year and less frustration. – Yours, etc,
