Guess what: soon as I mentioned it, they could beat it by £1.

Told them to (everso politely) ram it - if they were happy to try to fleece a long standing customer - I wasn't interested and I went elsewhere (and actually got it for around what I'd pretended to Direct Line).

Lorry drivers are the best?! They all go top speed of a whopping 56mph and try to overtake each other, meaning you get stuck behind two lorries because they end up in the middle lane

Its not so bad where theres a third lane but it drives me mad on the M62 in the parts where there are only 2 lanes and they shouldn't be allowed but can do it on a technicality
