Car Insurance Article Discussion

I read the LEGIT section and in it Martin, or his amanuensis, mentions Chicken Chaser is a real job.

I dispute this, and would appreciate a reference to an authoritative record that such a job really exists, and is not a slang term for a woman-chasing male.

If Chico Marx is used as an example, forget it, I have researched for over an hour and if you read Groucho's explanation properly, you see he is talking about Chico being successful at chasing women, not a proper job.

One link in the chain I have visited is this one for example:

http://www.fact-index.com/c/ch/chico_marx.html

So the challenge to MSE is, prove your assertion that there is a paid job with employees whose TITLE is Chicken Chaser.

Hi
I like your article and replys are really informative from Car Breakdown Cover point of view.

Yes Chicken Chaser and Chicken Sexer are real jobs :rotfl:
And if you want proof, go on to one of the car insurance websites and start typing your job title as Chicken and up pop the suggest job titles. Personally, I can't think of a more boring job!

One thing for sure is the premiums have rocketed this year! I would suggest people check if they are in a Union or Trade Organisation or have an Employer that offers Insurance deals, through their company insurers as a way to save money.

Oh and if you want a job with Chickens...you might have to do a bit of travel....

Yes chicken chaser is a real job - I did it one summer when a student for an agency. Had to get there for about 5am and go round these big barns picking chickens up by their legs - maybe 3 in each arm and then passing them up to a bloke on a lorry. It wasn't pleasant and I didn't eat chicken for about 6 months after!

Back to car insurance - can anyone recommend any good insurers that deal with people with convictions?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice

Hi,
I just wanna know that how would I get breakdown cover for my car.

I have had a quote from confused.com of £240 (Liverpool Victoria) and following comments on MSE I tried Tesco using same details on both. £614 from tesco using their club card link!

Update,

I finally went with Aviva for £230 (two drivers & protected NCs) with the possibility of £60 cash back from Quidco if they decide to pay. I am still waiting for cash back through them from Sheila's Wheels and Churchill from last year. I will not use SW or C again

Car insurance quotes and days of the week?

I run my details through a comparison website and get one price - then repeat same details a few days apart and most insurers go up and down by up to £15 for the same cover.

Is there a pattern?
Is it more expensive on Fridays and weekends?
Does it get more expensive as it gets closer to the renewal date?

No idea. But be sure to add up all the hours you're wasting finding out.

I'd like to know what car you're driving so i can buy one! I've never had a deal under £350 in the 11yrs since i passed my test, never made a claim, never had any points, never been a boy racer, always drove small economical cars like the metro or 106 , untill last year that is when i got a ford focus, and always shopped round for the best deals. My insurance looks like it's going up around £60 this year to the £500 mark

I think post codes have a lot to do with price, if you want to check this run a quote with YO16 6YS which is near my home.
