Talking Unicorn !

Hello ollie ,.....
....perhaps it's the long hours you work but you've miss read 'again' ,...

.it's not 'me' who is only upset !...did you take the time to respectfully read the other replies ,...many from senior members & others who are 'Not' in the position i'm in, but can easily see that this is worth highlighting ?

They are clearly ' NOT A MINORITY ' ...along with the NON MINORITY of people in a similar position to me either unemployed & or with a car valued below £2,000

With regard to your ' Unicorn quote / joke ' ,....
....there's a beautiful ancient boat in Dundee harbour called ' The Unicorn '...
if you're eve'r up for a visit let me know in advance , i'm sure there will be several VOC & forum members who'll operate a cannon each * ha , ha , ...only joking ,...have a good weekend , .

Positives , Lloyd .

I know I can't imagine the situation you are in re your Eve but as to the insurance I have been refused insurance for being too young (sadly not recently) and was most annoyed as I had no crashes no points etc, just discriminated for being a young bloke.
It sucks. I am now older so get Quotes from most providers.

I think you have highlighted the fact that not everyone can get a Q from Sky and carrying this on is not raising any new points.

I totally agree that an insurance company that actually takes YOU into account would get my business and probably most people but while companies are there to make a profit that aint going tohappen.

Wonder how easy it is to start an insurance company??????

Talking Reply to Guy .

Hi we're on the same side here , but you've proved my point that this debate is 'not over'...ha ha

Just because Sky perhaps hide behind ins' companies re their numb answers & oversight of the facts , shouldn't mean 'we' give up on getting answers to these important & deeply felt posts , ( we're being dumped on ! )

Please read some of them again , you'll notice from 'all levels' of membership that this is an issue which unites & strengthens us all .

It's time ' NOW ' that perhaps we can make changes....
... ( sky have 'changed' their telephone policy 'because' of my post , & all the input here from other users !! ) ..'may be small but it's a change !

Eve'rything of any good & real worth on this planet was started by ' one person'..... then one more etc , 'dons Che Guevara berry' , ha ha .

I suggest when we use our 'influential votes' in future we vote for what's best for 'all' & not which benefits our individual finance , & or scenarios ,...people are already pledging 'here' not to use Sky in the future directly because of 'my plight',.....
......that's the spirit i'm talking about & 'to me' shows that we care for the greater good , eve'n if we don't know the person ,...isn't that great ?


' Anyway Guy ' ,..allow me to get down from my imperial leather ( & all other good brands ) tea chest before it collapses under my weight , ha ha .

Your personal messages to me are what ' really matter ' & thanks again for them !

My positives to you all . Lloyd .

Hello

I get fed up with insurance companies giving over priced quotes, then when say no, offer to beat the price. I find it insults my inteligence.
I dont care to give my postcode, I will say I have the car insured elsewhere at half the price I was quoted.
I dont want to make an issue of it as I find there is always companies willing to give reasonable quotes and I dont tend to waste time with the other companies. Thanks

Kind regards
