Another thing …
Two words, Budget Insurance. From now on in this rant Budget Insurance will be further known as BI, just to clear up any ongoing confusion.
We’ve been with BI for a long time and this year came our anal quote! £440 which was double last year’s payment. Right straight onto the blower eventually after 5.000 menus & submenus I get the insurance advisor. She’s been sitting there watching the phone lights flicker smoking five Camel cigarettes whilst the 5.000 menus do their thing. She’s not allowed to answer straight away because you’re paying for this call and this long call subsequently pays her wages. I complain about the doubling in price; she ummms and aghs and finally says nahh you’ve got to paaaaaay! Oooops sorry wrong rant! Finally she coughs some tar up and with a husky voice says, ‘OK Victor we can do it now for a much better price of £389.’ If I was a valued customer why don’t they give me their best price straight away? It’s because they’re sodding money grabbing, Tory insurance salesmen that’s why! I decline her offer politely and say in my best Terminator voice, ‘I’ll be back!’
Next, I go to the Halifax online they say this is our price which is cheaper than last year’s BI payment and we’re sorted, even though they don’t deal with customers in branch heaven forbid! I return to BI and after 5.001 menus & submenus, they’ve added one just to piss me off, I tell the Camel puffer that off she and her company must fuck and she cancels my direct debit toot sweet!

Questions 1 & 2. Why are they called Budget Insurance and is there any point of the Halifax having a high street branch with so many people in it? Discuss in 2.000 words! 

Question 2 completes 30% of last year’s written course work and will be added to your overall exam result in your social awareness module.
