    LTA is £1.0M at the moment, going up roughly in line with inflation to £1.03M in April, and expected to continue to rise in inflation in future years.

    That's another factor for the OP - DB...

    Ah - having a browse on Argos - they are all huge (44mm watches) so far too big for 8-10 year old wrists. Argos's selection of kids watches seem to be Ben10 style PoSs. I'll keep looking.
