Campervans. Get a proper car!

Recently i've been made aware of a select group of people who seem to think that campervans are a cool thing to own. 

I dont think that this has somehow be classed as "cool." These campervans are simply nothing more than an old van, with a window cut in the side and an old matress that smells of wee inside. The type of people who think these are cool, are usually over 40, eithet teachers, or policemen and have nothing else to do but drive around thinking they're in their 20's and 30's again! Sometime's theyve even wasted their time by painting things on the side of them to in a bid to look even more cooler. It just draws attention to the fact they're being a tw@!

Why don't you grow up and get a proper car? If you want to go away and stay somewhere overnight you dont have to sleep in a van, there's a thing called a hotel. Here you can sleep somewhere where the matress doesnt smell of urine (unless its the Plymouth Travellodge) and where you might actually be treated like a respected person, rather than an old person, trying to relive their youth, and acting like a tramp!

Insurance Renewal Stupidity

On phoning up to cancel my renewal following my earlier victory of getting my monthly payments of £60 down to £27 - the person I spoke to wanted to ask why I was cancelling.  "I don't like the colour of your logo" - is what i felt like answering, why do you think i don't want to renew? Its obvious its going to be due to cost, what other reason could it be for?

She was adamant that she could match the cheaper price I'd got - until that is i mentioned it was £27, and that i'd saved £369 a year by not renewing with them.  She knew full well she couldn't match that and cancelled by renewal.  However... she obviously did want to get my renewal cheaper than the price first quote - so why don't they quote the cheaper price at renewal then? Surely that is the time when someone will think "screw this, i can get it cheaper elsewhere!" rather than phoning them up to ask if they would like to make it cheaper!?  Its crazy sand they are ultimately just costing themselves customers.

Do yourself a favour, switch insurance companies at the time of renewal - you could save yourself a lorry load of cash.  Well, maybe a small lorry, but a lorry load none the less!
