Meaning hopefully that you won't necessarily have the annual ball ache of surfing through countless comparison sites. Unless you want to of course because your current provider is taking the piss.
Let me guess. Just like when they realigned the premiums for men/women and womens went up to make it 'fairer', new policies will simply just go up in line with existing policies?

My home & contents insurance expires on Saturday; last year I paid £194, my renewal quote was £201, which didn't seem too bad.

However after a quick search I found equivalent cover for £100. I think my current provider is taking the piss!

And when they looked into the 'unfairness' of men retiring at 65 while women retired at 60.

You wait until they remove the Lodge Avenue flyover on the A13 & put an underpass there like they did at Movers Lane..
Unless you don't use that stretch of road...

I'll raise that to every single advert on kumb

Sooner we get an app that's got the built in ads even if it cost £5 it would be worth it over this non mobile friendly one
