Seeing as GKP went up 32% today I thought I'd spend an hour looking in the http://www.iii.co.uk forum to see the commments.
Found a post called "I'M 2 TODAY!"

In that post someone thanks the OP for their advice and posts their initial investment in GKP which they made exactly 2 years ago:

Anybody still think a savings account is the best place for their money??
