    Your car insurance renewal premium comes down.

    Meh. Even my insurance company thinks I’m dull and past it. 😐

    The year I turned 30 I collected 6 points and my premium still came down 😕

    I’m actually very pleased. Having an “M” postcode makes it expensive to insure anything other than one of these.

    Ours went up by 50%, and that was after shopping around for the cheapest. Ahh the joys of an L postcode…

    I stand corrected. The hairdressers I go to is called ‘The Barber Shop’. 😕

    HtS, you’re the same age as me. my premium went up by about £150 in May! I wonder if the switch from M to BL will have a positive effect on it?

    I went from this:

    Having an “M” postcode makes it expensive to insure anything

    To this:

    Ahh the joys of an L postcode…

    And, in spite of having moved out of a city to a small village where the last British Crime Survey recorded zero crime, my insurance premium didn’t change. The only thiveving gits are the insurance companies themselves….

    I’ve seen you drive. That is why your premiums have gone up. 😉

    At HtN I honestly thought you were going to roll it!

    I get Ms. now instead of Miss?

    Also when I was looking at face creams in Boots last week the woman said to me “this is better for mature skin”

    Good job. You would have taken out a dog poo bin, the caterers and half the ambulance crew.

    I’d suggest that theft claims only make up a small part of the overall claims for a motor insurer?

    And bear in mind that claims cost goes into the equation as well, so a common working class area may have many more claims than an affluent area but they still don’t add up to the losses in the affluent area.

    Back to the OP, you know when you are getting properly old when your premium starts to resemble a teenager’s.

    … 30 seconds into a conversation with an interesting and atttractive female, you get:

    “…my husband/partner/boyfriend”.

    Beam me up, Scotty.

    Mine too for the 11th year running 😀

    0 points on my licence for 12 years & no claims in 15 years might help 😉

    Oh and you must have been a bad boy Loddrik as I only just live out of the L postcode area

    The female manager of the bar says ‘I like it when you come here, you attract lots of single women to the bar’

    Just as you feel great she adds ‘They feel safe talking to you as you are too old to make a pass at them’

    You have to politely ask your mates kids, who you’ve known this they were born, to stop calling you ‘Uncle’ as they’re adults and now taller than you 🙁

    It is supposed to be the answer to the question of life the universe and everything, but it is actually like being 28, but with bad knees.
