    I did this while travelling and left the car at a relatives house, I believe I was with Norwich Union at the time, I just told them it was being stored there and occasionally used (including to the garage for the MOT) and they had no issues.

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
