thanks for your answer. ive registered for online banking giving the details of that account to do so - i hope that was only accepted as its still current! have to wait for a letter now before i can actually log on then hopefully i shall find out - cant believe im that lucky though - to come across a few thousand like that, its also a bit scarey that if it is still there i'd forgotten all about it!
ps Im on someone elses computer which automatically logs on hence the different user name
