I just got my car insurance renewal quote through and it's gone down. Now we all know that's akin to violating the second law of thermodynamics. What is going on? Am I travelling backwards in time or stuck in a parallel universe?

That makes sense. I didn't get any meerkats at the last round of renewals as the existing provider was cheaper/similar in price.Originally posted by vetran View Postmine went down last July.

OK this gets weirder. I got my girlfriend put on the policy and they have refunded me a further £100+.
They seem to have sent me cheques for a refund on my home insurance as well as refunding to my bank account too*.
Is one of you lot working on an agile project in the insurance arena perchance? If so, keep up the good work and may all your renewals come with rate hikes
* which is 100% correct as they have refunded the last renewal plus a partial refund of the year before.Last edited by doodab; 24 February 2014, 12:02.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

So perhaps "partner" is a better noun? Or do you prefer to keep her on her toes?Originally posted by doodab View PostI do, x2. My girlfriend is their mother.
