I'm with Ian B on this one, I doubt "millions" were missold, I suspect
the majority equate missold = not get the return I expected! My wife
and I still hold one, not our best financial decision, but one fairly
made at time, the wife fancied trying the missold route, I didn't
because frankly I'd thought it a good idea at the time (30K low cost
to maximise MIRAS benefit).
