    The bloke who buys life insurance because someone he knows (or his wife knows) has said it's a good company. Zero research, he just picks up the phone and goes for it. Idiot.

    only the once thankfully - flat battery Metrodome. The service Green Flag offer to my mind is very reasonably priced.

    There's one on the radio that advertises an app that allows students to travel anywhere in South Yorkshire for 80p. It's discribed as "For the first time in history"
    They obviously don't know about SYPTE

    When I phoned them to renew last year, they moved me on to a much cheaper package that still covered both me and my wife. I didn't even have to ask about it. Pity really, cos I do like a good haggling session...

    I follow a friends lead - he always aims (and usually succeeds) to get all insurances utilities etc cheaper than he paid the previous year.

    Don't you think it's wrong that we have to haggle though? I'd much rather have a set price for x product. I appreciate it's difficult with insurance, but it can't be that difficult.

    I steam off 'unstamped' stamps on letters and re-use them again.
