With car insurance almost invariably automatically set to annually renew by the insurance company whether you want that or not, car insurance is a (disguised) subscription service.
Every money advice place esp Money Saving Expert dating look around annually, auto annual renewal should be illegal.
I f#@king hate that car insurance companies do that.

I have a calendar event set on my phone to tell me when the insurance can be renewed. When it ends, when it can be renewed.

Quite so. There is an optimum time to renew as given by Money Saving Expert amongst others.
My point was to draw the mal insurance company practice within the realms of subscriptions so that it will be caught by the enquiry and anything that emerges from it.

I've spent much of my adult life with nothing positive to say about our governments. I'm not really emotionally prepared for being pleased about something a UK government is doing!

You’re ok for now. It’s just a consultation, so every chance nothing actually pleasing will happen.

I was a big fan of them banning indoor smoking. If you’re going to smoke in a restaurant what’s even the point in going, you now can’t taste the food anyway.

awh I do miss indoor smoking; it gave the shit food a unique flavour! And who doesn’t love a sticky wall?
