hiya,
Just had my car insurance broker on the phone, five minutes previously
I was reading in the paper that insurance premiums had fallen over the
last twelve months, this guy informs me although I have maximum no-
claims bonus my premium has gone up by £12 a year due to my age, so
I’ll be shopping around, my current insurance is supposed to be tailored
for us coffin dodgers my current insurance works out at £46 a month it
does include breakdown cover, I don’t normally bother shopping around
just wondering do any other “oldies” on here think my premium is a bit
on the excessive side or is it reasonable for a motor classed as a high
performance gas guzzler ( Toyota Corolla ), it is a bit quick though, the
road fund licence is £260 a year because of high emissions, its a 1.6.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry,I’ve just had a quote for a volvo 2ltrD at £359 from volvo ins. And my own ins co quoted £399.
Seen that nice new looking Volvo on your drive other day take it you gave up on the honda then
I went to Adilade ins for mine they gave me the best deal at £330 for a 2lt merc CLK

hiya,
Thanks for that Ang but I’ll have to await the arrival of my next policy details before I can
get a quote the reason, I think my premiums are payable over ten months if so their offer
isn’t too bad with the AA cover built in and I don’t like change if just for the sake of a few
quid I personally find it’s not worth the hassle, all that form filling Bah’ humbug.

Try Morethan Harry. I shopped around for Tracy when her car insurance was due, and they were the cheapest. I also did the same for her Uncle who has an Audi A4 and they now insure him.I have my van with NFU Mutual and the Travel Liner with Fish Insurance who specialise in converted vehicles. My advice is don’t try Saga.
Cheers Dave.
Good advice. Churchill refused to renew my annual multi trip travel insurance…I’m too old. 
Aye, right, I think i shall be reviewing my other business that I have with them. Cheeky buggas.

hiya,
This travel insurance thingy is the biggest fiddle thingy in Christendom I’ve had quotes
in excess of the holiday cost, at nearly 78 abroad has now become a no no when your
age is combined with the “cancer thingy”, so from now on it’ll be the UK for me I think
I might still find somewhere I haven’t stayed overnight, should I be single or a widower
I’d declare nowt and should I croak when enjoying foreign climes they could stake me
out for the crows but when you have a partner it’s different and wouldn’t be fair to let
them have the worry and expense of getting you back home. Now does anybody want a
passport with loads of years left on it, only if you’re “ugly” bother to apply well you’ll
need to resemble the photo a bit to get through passport control. 
thanks harry, long retired.

Hiya,
Was out when you posted Larry but now I’m back home and have view of the drinks
thingy I’ll just kick me shoes off and join you in a wee dram (well not too wee) it’s
McAllan I’m sampling at the moment nice drop of stuff and it’s even nicer having
been a gift, keep well my friend.
thanks harry, long retired.
I checked with a Saga type insurance, for me and the mrs £ 690, I told my daughter, she said thats absurbed, I replied that is what happens when you get over a certain age. 
On a good note Harry I had a nice tickle from Bet365, I done my usual Saturday bet two lots of lucky 63 one 10p win and the other ew, on the short prices never had a placed horse. on the other 9/1 3rd, N/r, 1st 14/1, 2nd 11/1, 2nd 8/1, and a 40/1 winner. returns £1,076. My ability fell short, 
I was trying hard for the scoop six which has reached 5 million.

They will be banning you from the bookies Norm, the amount you are taking off them. As for Saga forget them,plenty of better insurers than them around.
Cheers Dave.
I am just fed up with the grilling they give you when you mention any ailments you or your spouse had.

Its discrimination, and I have given some of these so called insurance waller’s a right earful about that, and they haven’t got an answer.

hiya,
I’ve given the “oe’r the water” holidays the chop, some of the travel insurance
outfits I’ve tried, and I’ve tried them all, give out quotes in excess of the cost
of the holiday, it is a racket so few people ever claim it’s virtually all profit I
have a relative in law who used to work in the travel ins section of a brokers
and informs me that travel insurance is the most lucrative of all the “risks” but
still they rub their hands as they rob you, I’ve taken holidays abroad for longer
than I can remember have had delays, losses, bad service and luggage damage
but after the initial annoyance have never bothered to follow a claim to it’s
conclusion, they play the trump card by making your claim so difficult with all
the paperwork and contact needed, yep as someone who contributes to TNUK
says ■■■■ Turpin did have the courtesy of wearing a mask.

hiya,
There’s the difference us lesser mortals can only afford to stock a couple of different
brands of single malt whereby if you’ve held the reins of power at some point in your
career the nearest I ever got to sitting behind the hallowed leather-bound desk was a
seat in a 110 Scania doing my logbook, nice selection there Larry some as they should
be well sampled, keep up the good work that man.
thanks harry, long retired.
I’ve just got annual travel multi trip (Europe) for my staff and myself, £170, Halifax Travel Insurance.
That’ll do for the next 12 months. The malt cupboard is bare so Mr PO Ferries beckons when I can get rid of “the plague”. Vet says it’s a chest infection, I say it’s bubonic plague, I’m coughing for England. 
probably delayed reaction to parting with 170 quid . i’m surprised the insurers didn’t knock you a bit off when they saw the tears welling up .

Damp conditions caused by the tears almost certainly resulted in the chest infection.

You beggars must have the constitution of a Bull elephant,“A few large Malts”,and I bet they would all be poured freehand,so a large one would be probably 4 measures eh! 
Cheers Dennis.
hiya,
I call half a tumbler full a wee dram, is that about right Dennis ■■
It doesn’t take many before the old legs don’t work very well.
thanks harry, long retired.
Measuring?? measuring malt?? What’s Dennis talking about? 
It’s easy…empty glass…pour…full glass…relax.
