    Didn't British Gas do a one off fix your boiler for circa £150?

    Other than that, if something goes wrong it can only be the circuit board or the pump. Seems very expensive to pay £300 pa when a new boiler isn't much more than that
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      Honda wanted over £700 for a 2 year extended warrenty, a Honda mechanic told me that would a a complete waste as it's unlikely to go wrong.
      Well I want an annual service as well and as we have a baby girl and winter is coming up I would want someone to come round ASAP.

            Have a look on MoneySavingExpert and see what their advice is (it's blocked from here, otherwise I'd see what they say).

            I think that their recommendation is to put the cash away and then spend it when or if you need to. They may also have some comparison sites to look at, which is worthwhile.

                Baggy has no idea. He shares his mum's spare room with his Ladyboy friend.

                    went to that site a few days ago and he recommends going to uswitch or as you say self insure - put amount in a high interest savings account.
                    Will have to find out how much it costs just to have an inspection.

                      For around £500 you can buy a boiler that would service 20 radiators, that's hardly a bedsit is it?
