I'm so glad I have no idea what that advert is
Currently work stuff is getting on my tits, but nothing I can go into. Also having to do the annual car insurance negotiation wankery. It enrages me how I can be quoted between 50% and 100% the cost of my car despite being nearly 30 years old and having never had an accident or speeding ticket.

My last renewal quote
Went from something like £370 to nearly £700, and I've not made a claim or had any convictions in the last year. Goodbye Aviva, hello shiny new insurance company.

It's utterly ridiculous how much they quote
They must just want you off their books.

Some of it is people who don't pay attention and automatically renew
I was quoted a renewal of £720, shopped around and found £480.

Policies are all going up.
Doing a van one at the minute and it's gone up by £200.

i hate it, i share your pain
my car insurance is over £200 a month because it's roadside parking in central london. the car is worth a LOT less than it was a year ago, when it was overpriced and brand new, and i haven't claimed on my policy in the 16 years since i passed my test. but still the premium goes up every year.

HOW?!?

And you're a girl, so pay 1/100th of the price that men do
I went on one of the price comparison sites, tapped in all my details, and five minutes later had one company calling me. I asked them politely not to do that, and the bloke said "Ok byeeee!". Yes, four 'e's.

Wiggy's car insurance quote went down by £100 when he added me to it
He refused to pay me to drive the car though.

Because all insurance companies are utter cunts.
I have no loyalty to any one company anymore and go with whoever is providing the best deal each year in the full knowledge that they'll try to shaft me at renewal time.

That said
Last year when my car got broken into (cunts did £700 worth of damage) and I lost my no claims, my current insurance company said they'd charge me the same as the previous year, when other companies were quoting £800-1,200...

That was unusually nice of them.
Which one of the staff did you have to suck off for that to happen?

None of them
It just cost me a few bumhole pics.
