Well here we go again, the car insurance renewal is close and i have received the letter.
Who the hell just says thank you i shall pay the extra £100 its gone up because of tax and claims and what ever else they try to blame it on, well this bloke does not.
Another insurance company has quoted me just £12 more then i paid for last year so i will go to my suppler and see if they will match it and then all is well.
Every year they send the letter out , i make the phone call, they get there £10 extra rather then the extra £100 and we are both happy, or i have the choice to say sod you i am off to your competitor.
What is funny though is the car is worth on there system £195, a bargain i say for me , but i am sure i could get over twice as much for it if i ever sold it.

Steve, it's just routine now to call around when you car/house/pet insurance is due for renewal, I guarantee the insurance companies stiff plenty of punters who do not question their renewal quotes.....:mad:

I know a work college who pays more on his pet insurance then he does on his own or family insurance, infact i know two .

Some people love what ever pets they have but to me its all about doing what you think is right.

All seems a bit off course to me when you buy a pet for a tenner then spend over £120 to put it to sleep...

I would not know, the only pets we had either died and was flushed down the toilet or as a kid the dog went out one day and never came back, then the next day we had a new one.
A friend had his dog for years and it was old and had cancer too , he had pet insurance and when the vet told him the dog is poorly he wanted a 2nd opinion , well that 2nd opinion cost the dog more pain and a few more weeks of living plus him losing £2000, as he was not covered for certain things .
He is never going to have another dog so he says
