    To echo what you yourself wrote previously, you really should have tried harder at school.

    Yes, you're probably correct Mr Bill Jones, are you short? You seem like an agitated little man.

    Just to put you in the picture, it was £2400 against £1800 for my daughter and £4000 against £2600 for my son. Would you go with the lower price and telematics box? Are you that affluent that you like giving your money away to the insurance stealers? Or is there another reason you'd hand over money unnecessarily?

    You're here for the same reason as others aren't you, because you are shrewd with your money and trying to save a few bob, or are you here to throw money away?

    You are soooo funny. Why don't you try stand up comedy. I'm sure you'd fill the venues. Not sure what with though.

    I've got a nice job already, thanks, quite a nice life, and I also quite like my cars (I came in in the C63 today).

    What am I supposed to be jealous of?

    Please tell us all you're an insurance broker. I'm sure that would actually make OP's head explode with rage... :)

    I can fully understand your annoyance. But you have to remember that all insurance companies are not in business for your benefit. Far from it; they are in business to make a profit. Wait until you have a claim and you will see them try to wriggle and worm themselves out of paying. It's all in the small print; and it has to be small because there is so much of it and it makes it harder to read.

    I'm not the one having a little tantrum over a few pounds, am I?

    It'd be funny, but no, just a banker...

    I should stop yanking his chain, he comes across as the sort of person likely to take it out on the wife and children.

    Cue the insults about being a greedy banker and how the banks are ripping the customers off, and that it's no better than the insurance industry.

    Wait for it...

    Yes, and again, it'd make his poor head pop if he has to work out what it means that the insurance companies are our customers.

    Can't complain chaps, my wife is a Bank Manager, has been working in the banking industry for over twenty years, it's paid for holidays, cars, home improvements and the quarterly and annual bonuses are fantastic, my head won't pop, I love the benefits she's privileged with.

    Myself, Civil Servant, absolutely no complaints, pay is good, benefits great and if we're honest has anyone in the Public Sector really experienced a hard days work?

    I know I haven't.................
