Rather not say but don't worry, wasn't 2gevainsrnz

For the sake of balance, the company that covers the 911 (worth ten times more than the Landy) just said "thanks for letting us know". "You don't want to adjust the premium?" "No need" then something along the lines of "well, that's what insurance is for..."

I don't dislike insurance as a rule. The dog one is fun. And I like those gophers too. I'm not so keen on the one with the bloke from The Thick Of It who isn't a nonce. Is the Michael Winner one still about? That was good. There's one at the minute with Morgan Freeman in it, which is nice.

Who's your mascot / celebrity twogether?

When you give a firm an annoying txtspk name, how do you decide when to stop saving letters?

For example 2gevainsrnz is not only shorter but also sounds even more hip and down with the kids than 2getherinsurance does.

When you think about it you've only saved one key press with your version, mine saves a full 6 and is no more childish.

Hi Ian, your Queen is Dead signature has departed

just on insurance..

its worth understanding that most insurance companies make no money and in fact lose money on underwriting.

the only money they make (if at all) is by investing your premiums

the reason they make no money is variously: spurious personal injury claims / high labour rates / "courtesy car" and legal assistance providers / costs of claims handling

the reason prices are going up is a) the above is a stupid business model in a low interest rate and low return environment, and b) lots of business was written by RBS subsidiaries at stupidly low prices. Now Direct Line and Churchill are aiming to be sold, funnily enough they have worked out it might be an idea to make a profit

so basically its got nothing to do with normal inflation, and everything to do with dodgy whiplash (and far worse) claims in the M62 corridor and changing behaviour of some of the biggest players...

if the industry ever got itself properly sorted out, we'd all be paying a LOT more

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I hope I will be able to help feel free to contact me at anytime
