    the £k loss is from what i paid less than a year ago to what the insurers value it at now i purchased my car from a dealer and had finance so had all the usual over inflated costs involved hence the 3 k loss

    Read http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.u...valuation.html

    it covers pretty much
    all you need to know re fair valuations

    Dealer price is what you should get from your insurer

    and, the third party is responsible for any extra financing costs so add those to your uninsured loss claim

    yep, but progressively by society rather than regressively by individuals

    and that's before you add in the cost of the bureaucracy needed to collect the charges. I think I remember when Wales went free prescriptions it was almost cost neutral because the collection costs pretty much wiped out what they collected.

    I'll give you free care for the elderly. (Free prescriptions were ours first.)

    Not sure what else Scotland has done first.

    Free eye tests ?

    Not quite. It would have been, but they didn't account for all the (unentitled) people who would come into Wales (in minibuses in some cases) to take advantage. Someone told me it cost something like £30k in the first year.
    Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.
