I'm moving house shortly, so phoned my insurers to get the address change. Being a scrupulus sort of person, I did a quick comparison site quote for the new address before hand.

Fare splitting question
I found a way to save some money on my monthly travelcard but I'm wondering if it is frowned upon and can't really find any info on it. My commute is from Clapham Junction to Windsor. A monthly card plus zones 1-6 (possibly 2-6, haven't decided yet) is quite a bit. But if I'm getting the 1-6 anyway, could I not get a…
