fuuny enuff just sent a snotty letter to Tesco's Today

I've moved 500 metres up the road , my cars now garaged

and they've asked me for an additional 30% increase on my

premium because my postcode's changed by 2 letters

Not a HAPPY BUNNY:explode:

I had a quote for £8k+ when I was looking around aswell. I don't think it was Direct though.
Isn't it strange what happens when we let the machines do the "thinking". How on earth can these insurance companies give quotes ranging from £400 - £8500.
Oh that's right, It's a legal requirement to take out a policy with an unregulated sector of private buisness.

And I thought that when my mate got a quote of £4150 that they were trying to rip him off....

Bargain obviously after all...
