    Did they lower the premium?

    My car insurance 'enhanced' my policy but did actually drop the excess levels by 50% - and increased the premium by 20%. After haggling on the phone with them the premium dropped just over 40% (it worked out over 50% lower on the previous year).

    I only got Mrs Shiney's insurance down by over 20%.

        The vegan/ vegetarian labelling can be very entertaining. Tesco carrots helpfully note that they are suitable for vegans, and so do the bottles of still water. Most reassuring I guess. :heehee:

        (OK, vegan labelling requires that also the manufacturing process meets the standards, not just the end product. But still... )

              Over the years I suspect I've had a full picnic of compost.

                Got my water bill today, one page with the bill on and the rest was this load of old rubbish.

                  I see they also sent you the completely separate piece of paper asking you to go paperless :roflol:

                  I don't do paperless as I like all my paperwork in files in my office. I'm old fashioned :old: :heehee:

                    Rishi :noidea: - 1% pay rise for the NHS is not going to wash. Increase taxes to pay for a better pay rise - people really won't mind.

                      Can anyone lend me a pigeon.
                      I've been hanging on the phone for 30 minutes listening to rubbish about how corona virus has stopped them answering, and told to use the website.

                      Tried the website, jumped through all the hoops and obstacles and then cant work out how I contact them via the website, it just sends you round in circles.

                      I'm talking about HMRC. Of course.

                          Young Peter, please do remember to always recycle your unwanted papers. :nonofinger:

                          Or, here's a bit more fun way to put the sheets to a good use.

                          I was a big fan of origami in my youth, it's actually fascinating. Once or twice I got the word Origami mixed up with another very similar foreign sounding word I had read so was advised by my parents to be careful when discussing the subject. :dunno:
