I agree this was long overdue. As for insurance companies I rate them in the same category as Banks.

I wish they could do something about the unfair system we currently have with road tax or VED they now like to call it.

My Omega has been insured with the RAC for the last three years. Each renewal offer is a couple pounds less than the previous year.

Not bad considering they only charged about £130 for the year in the first place.

Lee - sorry to be a pedant but if MG Rover ceased trading in April 2005 your firefrost must have been born before September 2005. My ZTT was registered in 2006 but born 18 months earlier in April 2005, two days before the factory closed.

Prob should read REGISTERED 2005 I guess?

I'm thinking that the Ferengi could learn a thing or two from some of our Earthling businesses

.

Agree with Arctic, there's too many vested interests to allow a genuine investigation and it's even less likely that anything significant will change.

Caveat emptor.
