        You just need to have more

        Once you have three of them you can buy the missus a chunky people carrier and then go and browse for a sporty 2 seater. Not liek you are ever going to go out with the kids in your vehicle anyway so you may as well buy a fun one

          Think yourself lucky!

          Some time ago, just by chance, I saw my medical records up on the surgery computer screen and noticed it contained illnesses and ailments that I know I had never suffered from. You know, just minor things like.......Emphesyma (a non reversable serious lung disorder) and some sort of leg blood clotting . I queried it immediately and discovered that the surgery had combined my history with another 60 year old patient that shares the same surname.

          Thankfully, I wasn't applying for private med insurance, but if I had been I would have been turned down flat unbenown to me why I had been refused. Premiums are bad enough when you just smoke, as I was at that time, but to have emphesyma (which does sometimes afflict very heavy prolonged smokers) is a complete non starter.

          I always wondered why I was offered a free lung test for the past two years at the surgery - I just thought they were more conciencious than my last practice.

              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                It is a few years ago now, but I had similar troubles when I took out a policy a few years ago.

                This was because I had declared some minor ailment that had had medical attention in the previous year before applying.

                The insurance company could not get any answers out of my GP, but because I had been treated privately I still had copies of all the letters from the specialist. (I would probably have had similar letters if I had been seen NHS come to think of it).

                Anyway, I sent copies of those letters to the Insurance company, especially the one giving me a clean bill of health, and the underwriters were perfectly happy with that.
