TangoVictor32 90 Posted March 28, 2020 Hi all it's been a while. I have been away and have been ill! My son's insurance is due for renewal in a couple of weeks. He trades from home part time. His new quote from bollington is £1900. After phoning them he got it to £1600 and the rep was pushy for him to buy it. The quote includes 1450 insurance plus a 12% insurance premium tax but won't this be included in the actual premium? Then there's the £150 admin fee... Yes! And £70 for MID management and legal cover. Rep was pushy saying this is based on your risk. BUT dont you think insurance will go down now? Because the risk is reduced? We're not trading nor buying due to coronavirus !! He doesn't want to commit to it and pay for 3-6 months without being able to trade. Even the 6-9 months thereafter business will be down as people won't be looking to spend much post coronavirus... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think £30 per week for motor traders cover is OK,it is tax deductible.If he had a pitch /showroom /workshop with several staff,he might be quoted upto 10 grand. I think the admin charge is their commission which they now have to declare. If we get over this plague,there will be a spending spree. BTW I think Cressida Dick was on telly last night appealing for your return ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think some people have proven they're silly but a lot have learned that anything can happen at any point. Ah its mad they're asking retired people to return particularly nhs! It puts them in the vulnerable group and puts them at great risk. I have been hiding indoors in this biological war... Where there are invisible bullets flying around.

Text Britbox to 150 and you will get 6 months of Britbox free. Even then without that its only £5.99 per month. Also don't forget Iplayer, itv hub, 4od, uktv play etc. IPlayer is brilliant and unlike the last three I mentioned has no adverts like Netflix etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not worth the risk of telling little brats to get off the streets and go home. If people followed the basic rules our number of infected would be much lower. 80-100 years ago young men were asked to come forward and risk their lives and fight for their country. Which they obliged to. Today young men (women and even old men) are asked to sit at home. Which they failed to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
