Just bought £1k in each of the following 10 defensive, relatively high divi companies that haven’t yet done that well out of the SM boom. All relative of course. Intention is to hold long term.

Tesco
GSK
National Grid
Reckitt Bensicker
Diageo
Morrisons
Unilever
HSBC
Direct Line
SSE

Would it not have been similar but much cheaper to buy a FTSE100 tracker? No stamp duty and 10 times less trading fees?
