Let the game begin. Yep...it's that time of the year. Today I received the renewal documents for my house and contents insurance. Quelle surprise, an annual increase of over £100.  No way José, I deffo is having none of that!  PDQ, I'm on the 'Confused.Com' site. A truck load of quotes and I get on one from the AA that looks sound. The cover is not quite as comprehensive of the one I have with Santander Aviva, but it's around the price that I'm presently paying. To be fair, I was aware that insurance premium tax has gone up, but not by £100 it ain't. I get Santander Aviva on the dog and steam straight in. . . No messing around, no ums or arrrs, I just tell the Jocko lass that answers that I won't be renewing the policy and the AA have quoted. Naturally she wants to know why. That's my cue to go into my well rehearsed, poor potless old pensioner living on his own routine.  She of course, goes into her equally well rehearsed ' Oh dear, let me see what we can do for yer' routine.  The upshot is, they will be sending me new documents that will show that I'll only be paying an extra £1 per month if I re-insure with them. The game is the game, to be continued next year. |

Result. Amazing what they do when your leaving I've had two sky boxes because I couldn't afford the repair. Who need sky box cover just tell them your cancelling your subscription. |

I can't ever remember a BBC manager entertaining viewers on the TV were as programs not all but some do entertain.

I had one yesterday too. This one was conducting "market research" and asked me if I'd go for a holiday or cash alternative. Of course I went for the latter. He asked me what I 'd prefer to spend it on giving me a number of options. "None of those" says I. "What would you spend it on then?" "Whores" says your scribe. End of convo.
e&oe...
