    A quandry

    The 5 days is the minimum that insurance companies are allowed to stipulate in their policies ( for theft it's two days ). Some have longer. Regarding refusing a late claim, the insurance company has to be able to prove that the insured has 'caused them harm' by the delay i.e. deliberately leaving the claim long enough to prevent an assessor from making an accurate report. Most websites on the subject I've read say that under normal circumstances the 5 days begins as soon as the insured becomes aware there is a problem. This one appears to be the most definitive.

    I think, being the other side of the Channel at the time, Mr Banana won't have any problems. If he does, it's time to consider changing insurers.

    How do you go about these things ?

    I think I remember reading somewhere that they were currently conducting trials to figure out how it would work.

    So watch this space.

    My instinct would be to stay where you are. You've no idea what the roads are like on either side of the Channel. Meteo France still has a red warning for the PdC and one poor soul has lost his life in the UK.

    Things can be replaced.

    General Election

    So, the UK is probably going to have a general election this year. Apparently the rules will be in place to allow those of us who have lived outside the country for more than 15 years to vote.

    So, will you?

    Henry,

    I've been given some thought to your 'issues' with the forum. I wonder if you would not feel more comfortable creating a blog for your monologues. In the 37 or so postings you have made since rejoining 10 days ago you have only commented three times on topics not created by yourself. That's fine but your unhappiness with the fact that others have to 'check' your work on behalf of the owners appears to be souring your outlook. There are a number of formats out there. I happen to have a blog myself on wordpress for example.

    With a blog the only moderator would be yourself and you could still continue contributing to the forum as a member whenever you wished.

    Please believe me. I say this with all good intentions.

    But very glad to see this forum seems to have got over the "poisonous" phase it seemed to be going through last time I looked in. 

    Maybe not totally over it E/T but we're working on it. 😉

    new year question time!

    Miles on your speed dial has nothing to do with pass or fail of the test

    which is exactly why I don't bother explaining why a 25yr old car that has been in the same hands since new has been re-registered four times and gone through, amongst other things, two odometers. I also don't mention that she's had a complete respray.
