Insurance against insanity

Post by Lawrence » Fri Feb 23, 2007 3:39 pm

That's what I need :)

OK so I phone Morethan to swap over the insurance to the Europa, Morethan are the Royal & Sun Alliance.

After all the endless DOB, job, age on and on and on I get the "Sorry sir we can't do group 20", but they did my Elise??? so I'm punted off to some other related company that quote me double the figure I expect :(

I then spend a whole day trying to sort out a decent quote, Tesco are cheapest but need a tracker (now there's a surprise) 2 or 3 don't have the Europa listed and Elephant come in as the lowest of them all by quite a margin. I did try A-plan online at least twice but no online quote or call back. Then while chatting to Graeme at MMC today he also suggests A-plan but gives me a phone number, wow! real people that know their jobs, ok so he was also £20 quid cheaper and who did he place the cover with?
Royal & Sun Alliance !!!!!!!!

I'm away for a lie down now ;)

Swap you car insurance searches for General Hospital duties caring for sick child and wife while sick yourself...THEN you will feel like a lie down!

Great story as ever Lawrence, glad you have made progress. When is pick up day for the car...1 March?

Isn't that 28th, so won't be an 07 plate car under the skin?

Will you be able to bring it to visit Robin and me at his kitchen table where we will have my head in bits for the evening? That would really cheer us up!!!

Well Robin's table might be smaller, but on the evening of 28th Feb, it will definitely be more interesting! Well, for those like me who haven't seen a K head in bits, at least.

Enjoy your moonlit run to Old Deer, in that case ;-)

Actually I am pretty sure my dining room table is on a par with Tut's ... not that you can see it for all the crap that's on it (as you well know, Lawrence :-)). For sure the run up to Old Deer is better than the run over here, so I know which one I would choose :-)

Cheers,

Either way, always great to see any of you for impromptu visits, or even promptu ones.

Indeed Robin, the table is only 10' by 4.5', so an upgrade is definately on the way.

Will check with Clola Antiques tomorrow to see if they have the Vista model in yet..........

I made a 7' by 3.5' for our family Christmas bash just past, and I thought THAT was uge! See that's the difference between period homes and 80s timber kits ;-)
