At least Dick Turpin wore a mask

When I had my ‘traders policy, it was great. I could, and frequently did, drive any car and bike. And my accountant claimed the premium back. I think?

Since (semi) retiring I now insure the family vehicles individually, it’s cheaper than a muli vehicle traders policy. But talk about a p155 take! Let me tell you, loyalty is a word that insurance companies have not heard of. Each year I am forced to go on-line and search for the best deal. It’s like they ensnare you with a first-time good offer and at renewal attempt to bugger you senseless with an exorbitant renewal price hoping you won’t notice. Worse, if you are not on the ball, you may well ‘benefit’ from their auto-renewal facility where they extract the money from your account with a minimum of inconvenience to you.

So thoughtful eh? 8astards!

So here I am, in the process of changing my motor and the on-line comparison quotes, like-for-like cover remember, range from..........

.........£298 to £5,694

Yes, you did read that correctly. WHY, I mean, WHY? Perhaps they got the decimal point in the wrong place, I don’t think.
It’s not a fcukin’ Veyron and I’m not 17.

When I rang my current insurer for a price, they wanted £1100, until I looked on-line where they were asking (only, ha-ha) £426. Are they dooin’ drugs or something?


Just glad I’m not a yoof.
