General Discussion / Re: The dreaded car b/down insurance & insurance
« Last post by Sorastro on May 09, 2024, 08:02:31 PM »
Got my renewal policy today and as expected it had gone up, a bit eye watering to find the new price hike as almost 50% above last years price.

Went back on Moneysupermarket and got an almost identical policy for £268...only £14 more than I paid to AA last year.
Rang the AA to cancel my renewal policy and got the "Well lets see if we can get a better price for you" and I told them not to bother, if they can reduce the quote why wasn't I sent THAT quote instead?

We'll see how good THIS company is.

I've heard from two sources that the mayor is now going to be based in Chesterfield.  (It was originally going to be Nottingham.)  I don't know where she lives, but let's hope she has a long and potholy drive to get here!

I used to love it when you dealt with just your local friendly broker who would sort out the best prices...

Been looking for car insurance on the sites for 2024/5 having heard tales of premiums skyrocketing, still waiting for my insurers renewal quote to see what that is as I paid £254 last year, here's just a few approximations:-

L.V. = £480
Hastings = £600
Saga = £470
Tesco = £335
and last but not least Aviva wanted over £1000!!!

The cheapest was on Moneysupermarket site, can't remember the name off hand but their quote was £265 so if all else fails I'll just go with them, is there any wonder people drive round with no insurance especially if they only have a cheap motor.

To digress a moment, my daughter called into the new Smythes toy store the other day, very nice store too and after she had paid for her purchases it turns out she couldn't find the exit!! she had to ask one of the staff who said something along the lines of " Your not the first...it's not very well signposted is it" and directed her to the exit.

So the upshot is...Don't try shoplifting in this store you'll never get out.


I wonder if it will last the last one has long gone. ( Can't remember it's name) - Was it Toys R Us?

Is there anything going around.
Sinus problem, Asthma kicked off, coughing none stop, wheezing -
Lovely - it's Bank Holiday weekend and I feel rubbish.
It's not Covid, I tested for that yesterday.
I booked to go out for Sunday lunch to the Greyhound - cancelled that!

It was placed in a decent position where it was. Buses and on route to/from train station. It is a shame they've moved it

Apparently Labours Claire Ward has been elected as mayor with 50,000 more votes than Ben Bradley but even he got almost 130,000
