Just had an unsolicited envelope of junk from Saga PROMISING to better my current insurance on a like for like basis when I renew............................ and they are also offering an incentive ........... not a chromed zimmer frame but A FREE PARKER PEN if you just phone for a quotation - proof of age required (I thought that condition usually only applied for those buying ciggies and alcohol!!) 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Unfortunately not...
I face the same discrimination problem constantly, however on the other side of the scale..

Like for like! I would like off-road cover please - listen to the silence, but the pen is only worth a £1 or so! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

unlimited european use = no problem
protected NCB = yes allowed 2 claims in 5 years
roofrack contents covered = yes
Trailers covered = yes but not the contents
not garaged = no problem
chips to windscreens repaired but £75 excess for replacement screen without loss on ncb
No guarantee the car would be repaired by a Land Rover approved repairer using Lr genuine parts
Audio/ acessories equipment cover resticted (didn't ask how much to) - LR is unrestricted

BUT,

"We would have to refer you to our underwriters for offroad use and trailer contents would be only after advising us what it was being carried"

At this point I interrupted the telesales guy (in a UK call centre) and told him that I doubted that their broker would be able to do the cover for the same as or less than the Land Rover cover! It appears not many over 50's want off-road cover for their Land Rovers!
The free Parker pen will be posted this afternoon - that's one 6 year old nephew's birthday pressie solved!

Interesting that my registration on the TDv8 didn't bring up the car's data from the insurance industry database but my Defender's did! Maybe I should have given him the original reg number to try 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I don't need a free Parker Pen, might as well not waste it and give it to somebody who does mind you he might be a bit p :censored:ed off if it has "free from Saga motor insurance services" stamped on it, in which case I'll have to find something else to give him!

Angel, I'm supposed to be painting inside the house today, well that was my plan, but I got distracted and will do anything other than interior decorate............................. it's only 19 years since the last coat of white emulsion was put on the bathroom walls so another few days won't make any difference anyway the sun has come out now so I might have to go outside in the garden or wash the car. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Do kids still play with Lego these days, I thought they only wanted to kill the world on a computer game........... maybe Lego has changed since I was a kid. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Off course we do play with lego... Do you know how long every day? It is great fun

Mine doesn't play on the PC,

Prefers to play with his Thomas the Tank engine trains, along with his farm and jungle animals, Post Man Pat people, dinosaurs, polystyrene plane all on the window sill in the lounge, all at once.

He does have a type of lego, which is larger and less of a choking hazard for a 3yr old, but he only makes something he calls a robot and then it joins the rest on the window sill.

I think yours will love the SAGA pen in its nice presentation box

That's good NP - his parents will be delighted when he draws all over their expensive wallpaper with it I'm sure and that will give him hours of fun....................................... and they'll never forget me either! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
