“Although it was a few bob cheaper than the rest, it was the only one I could go for under the circumstances. The insurance cost me more than the 13 y/o car which is used locally to ferry my ailing octogenarian spouse to and from specialist appointments and local shopping, around 3000 miles per annum. Considering the many years of no accidents hence no claims, I felt well overcharged. C'est la vie in a la Grande Bretagne for pensioners.”
