Gorse Fox was due to renew his Home and Contents insurance with one of the big companies. He thought he'd better check that he was still getting a good deal, so he wandered round the internet.

As a result of this he has now swapped his insurer... got twice as much cover, and is paying a premium of less that half the original. (Oh yes, and he gets a special emergency cover that manages the dispatch of plumbers, electricians etc... pays the call-out and up to £1000 for their services)

GF called his old Insurer to cancel the policy. After a 27 minute wait he got through to the call centre operative and explained:

"I wish to cancel my policy"
"May I ask why, Sir?" she queried.
"I have got a better deal. Twice the cover for less than half the price" said GF
"Ok then Sir, I have cancelled the policy" she responded with a weary acceptance, and an acknowledgement as to which company now had GF's loyalty!

Do they really think we don't check? I guess they hope that it will all be too much hassle.
