I hesitate to offer this as serious advice, but I have been known to tell agents that as soon as I have paid my insurance renewal, I will forward the details onto them. They never ask after the event and I guess over the years, I saved a lot of money by not paying insurances that I was 99.99% certain would never be required in the real world.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

I only have public liability insurance if I know or I am actually working in an office block or complex with shared toilets, shared kitchens or whatever shared facilities.
If the office building is fully rented out or owned by the client company then I let my policy lapse.
(Oh and you can find this out if you interview at the actual premises or do a search online for where client company offices are based.)Last edited by SueEllen; 2 June 2021, 08:27."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
