    I want to know why my Footman James is giving out insurance quotes. After the fiasco with the cheap mobile phone I banned him from conducting business whilst in my employ. Its the boot for him!!!

    You probably won't get an answer from OP as the post is nearly 6 years old.

    heelp!!!!

    I'm 17, had a quote with footman james, went to take out the policy on my kit car and they claimed they have changed their policies and dont insure anyone until they're 23!

    I now have a £20,000 car that i cant insure!!!

    any ideas on an insurance company?

    But Gary Coop isn't the OP.



    Hence. . . Shelly's comment.



    But on the subject of time going by, Gary isn't getting any older. Poorer though when the £20k 'kit car' is taken away by creditors.

    I was referring to the nearly 6 year old post that silvercar quoted and replied to.

    No worries.
    If I had a £ for everytime I have read a thread then gone to reply and realised it's a few years old I wouldn't need use this site because I'd be rich enough to not care about saving the pennies :D

    I have asked/requested in the past that threads over a certain age be locked to new posts (left on the site for info purposes, just not allowed to be posted on) but no-one else seemed bothered :(

    No need for apologies.

    Gary has a record of taking old, pre-used stuff and representing it as brand new.

    (I was once going to apply for a job he advertised in his sales department but couldn't understand the terms and conditions. And the employee incentive award of racing through France aboard Gary's motorboat seemed, well, unreal. I would rather have had one of those Sony laptops everybody kept winning.)
