They're making me POA and they seem to think that mean I have to give them investment and tax advice

It's more than you should expect to win really.

Have you looked at the calculator Scott mentioned?:

This I guess is for the future (and wouldn't include any prize rate rises):
With £18,000 in Premium Bonds, if you have average luck[1]
you would expect to win roughly £450 over 2 year(s) … [1]We use an estimate of the 'median average'. This means if everyone with £18,000 in bonds stood in ascending order of amount won, the person in the middle of the line has 'average luck'.
As for your £50:
Sorry you are unlucky! Almost 100% of people who have put £18,000 in premium bonds over 2 years win more than £50.
Based on that, with average median luck, I'd probably continue to hold. That is if you think 1.25% per annum is worthwhile and you don't mind losing out to inflation but no more, rather than throwing it into, say, the quagmire that is AIM, which Boulee and I excel at.
