Got my building and contents renewal through. £48 more than last year, I checked and the small print is the same (values, excesses etc.). OK, compare the meerkat time ... hmm, should be cheaper. I then go to Egg's own website and get a quote - £52 cheaper. Okey dokey, I'll give them a call and sort this. Unfortunately they can't lower my renewal quote and I'll have to cancel and take the new (exactly same) policy out online to make the saving. The computer says no.

Silly people.

I'm sure we'll soon be cracking jokes about it.

Better get in quick before others poach the best yolks.

Admiral car insurance tried this on me

Tried to raise it from £400 per year to £750 ( yikes ) with no changes in policy!

Cheeky feckers

One phone call and it went down to £320ish - I really don't get it...

Because some people don't question and pay up, it's money for old rope.

There's actually a few good reasons for this. Ignore Compare The Market though, they're just an intermediary and need to take their cut into account.

Also, I think you'll find Egg Insurance is actually provided by Churchill, or some other big insurance company.
