Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 
Insurance companies, my car insurance is due.

Admiral quoted £100 more than last year, nothings changed in the last year.

So I phoned up and they knocked £100 off, as im a valued customer.

Why not give me the lower quote to start?

Because it is geared to getting new custom. You have to be prepared to at least haggle, or attempt to. My grandmother always does and generally gets a bit knocked off because she plays the OAP card.

My deaf neighbour, who has his TV cranked up to full volume until the wee small hours every night, and has recently taken to shouting at it. Seriously people, if you like your entertainment loud, please spare a thought for people who have a job and need to get up in the mornings.

Selfish drivers who force their way in a queue by blocking an entire lane of traffic.

Selfish drivers who never let anybody out of an impossible junction. tbf 90% of drivers are fine, its just the 10%, too many cars is the main problem.

I have a raging ear infection. GP says this is why my hearing went funny last night. On Clarithamycin for it as Amoxicillin gave me a rather severe headache last time.

Does your employer offer 'death in service' benefits?

My current one does, which was a factor in accepting the job - 4 x annual salary.

l hope your ear infection clears up Mark as yes Amoxicillin can have side effects for quite a few people as l am allergic to it myself.

Sod plumbers, did it myself. Turns out to be a doddle if the electrics/pumbing are in place.

Only charging Mrs K £200 cash in hand, so she's made a right saving there. Think I'll her test the shower first ;)
