Car Insurance - anyone else had Post Office screw up their renewal?
My motor insurance was due for renewal 20 April, policy With Post Office. I phoned them 12 April to see what they could do on price.

I was insured with Admiral (car) for the last two years. This year, as last, my renewal notice came through and it was ridiculous, so I shopped around.

A bit of fun for all the insurance bods out there! :)

Had to have a google, evidently 4% of UK people use this word (not in my world!), and only 1% in the USA. Can't wait for Monday to use premia in a conversation, I will…
