Lots of threads (including my own) asking for what to go for in the post-M&S doom.
Check out Direct Line Select (not normal direct line, you have to phone up to get a ‘select’ quote)
They have a minimum contents value of £100k (but this doesn’t matter, since over insured is better than under insured, and if it is cheaper, who cares).
Bikes are just possessions – covered at home and away, as long as they are locked up if you leave them away from home. No cap on value (I think they mentioned £10k when I really pressed them on that, but that isn’t in writing anywhere), and you don’t need to specify what bikes you have (like M&S used to do).
Best of all, if you tell them your ‘M&S Premium’ quote, they will match or beat it. My advisor had to go away and ‘talk to his supervisor’, but they dropped the quote by £300 to match my M&S renewal quote.

PS I’ve put this in the bike forum, because it is a bike issue – if any mod has a problem with that, then please feel free to move it to chat.
