Random Irritations

[Deleted member 21784]

My opinion; they are nothing less than a bunch of thieves & charlatans. The original idea behind compulsory insurance was sound enough but the industry appears unchecked and has developed into into a mutual backscratching system whereby there are claims handlers, vehicle rental companies and any number of hangers on queuing up to take their pound of flesh. It is an absolute disgrace and should be the subject of some sort of public enquiry. It is so far removed from the original intention it is laughable.

Fully agree

Insurance should be more customer focused .: we are going through them for this now

£150 excess they they will try and reclaim from other party

Hire car paid for by other party

Picked a date

This is better but should be no claims never affected if not your fault .. even tho it’s not a no blame discount.. encourages people to be dishonest or pay for cover to cover their discount so another con

No excess if not your fault

And once proven not your fault you shouldn’t have to declare it

Dream world now

As it’s all run by FIFA why not be like Wimbledon and have the prize fund spilt 50/50 ?

It’s clear that there is an interest - last World Cup has nearly 30k at each game and this World Cup is supposed to be nearly a sell out in a lot of the games - so why can’t they have the same prize fund as the Men’s World Cup

Which I think is absolutely ridiculous and just panders to the equality brigade.

There's obvious interest and ticket sales but what about TV/sponsor revenue?

At yesterday’s D Day service in Portsmouth, the “dignateries” two rows behind the Queen who felt it necessary and appropriate to video her speech on their mobile phones.

Getting knocked by a learner.

Nobody hurt... (which is good as my daughter was in car) very very slow speed. I was at a junction giving way awaiting to turn.. the learner took the corner bit tight.. missed the front of me I was like ooo that was lucky.. she then proceeded to just knocking the back bumper.

Minor scrape in reality ... broke the paint work though

more annoying is having to deal with it... the driving instructor gave me his number.. said get some quotes (ball ache number 1) and that he will accept liability (which I know you shouldnt at side of road) and he will prob go through insurance anyways....

just something to deal with really when Im going away sunday I dont really want to be dealing with this

Aviva have been painless so far (I’m sure at renewal it will hurt)

Claim reported via the app. Few details (standard) entered with a pic of damage

Emailed me back with a link to book in the repair

Requested a date (1st July helps me most) they call back offer me next week but then agree 1st July lol

Enterprise call me to arrange hire car for the time it’s away

Car goes at 10am the pick me up at 11

Seems pretty helpful so far

£150 excess to pay after repair which in theory should be repaid to me once the 3rd parties insurance pays the cost of repair .: which by the email I got sounds like they aren’t arguing because they said

“however being a non-fault claim I have instructed Enterprise to contact you to organise a similar sized vehicle for the duration of your repairs. This will be an agreement between Aviva & Enterprise as we have agreed costs with the Third Party Insurer”

2/3rds of the way up Bishops Hill next to Loch Leven and it started lashing it down, a quick detour and I managed to meet the path down but got a bit drenched.
On the positives I saw possibly the craziest golf course of all time, I think it was called Bishopshire golf club, looked like quite a few criss crossing holes and tee shots over greens.

The state of our country where two innocent people minding their own business can get treated like this - I feel at times apologising for the actions of the thugs

There is also another video going around of someone’s niece being beaten up by 4 bullies 😡😡😡

Play just about to start at the Nottingham open tennis (delayed from 11am) and it’s just chucked it down again. Only upside is that I didn’t enter today’s pairs comp to come here with the family and that was abandoned half way through the morning due to waterlogged greens.

Off on holiday tomorrow and Mrs Dando says she’ll pack the cases as I can’t be trusted. In the past 45 minutes I’ve been called upstairs 9 sodding times

You should live in a bungalow. Way easier.
