I am not a dividend investor but that sort of yield, together with property price increases, was too tempting.

I am *definitely* not a dividend investor, but that was exactly my thought. I bought some, and I intend to just throw it in a corner and forget about it. I expect to look back in a few years and realize it paid for a lot of beer and pizza, and earned a higher rate of return than any loan I might have in the interim. I am embarrassed to admit I haven't really done nearly enough reading on them yet to feel well informed, but there is some thought that these biggies are likely to be pretty resilient even if dividends or prices dip for a while.
