Even if they were cheaper, I wouldn't use them BECAUSE of their irritating adverts.

Assuming they saved you money, would it really be worth be missing out for a tedious advert? I mean who's going to care?

It's not always about the money. There's a place reserved somewhere very hot for those who help perpetuate Winner's advertising career .

Micheal Winner is confirming the old adage, that you cannot polish a turd. although the old git has got his cloth out.

I have taken out cover with them because they offered a good quote and a relatively inexpensive montly payment option. Elephant were the only company cheaper for the initial quote but their credit terms were punitive to say the least. See the insurance comparison thread for details of my costs etc.
