Insurance Claim Latest

In the interest of fairness, and balanced reporting, I am happy to report that my insurance claim is being settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. I feel that if I didn't keep calling the claims department, I would probably still be waiting, but maybe Norwich union can look at how they contact people.The main thing is if you promise to call someone within 48 hours CALL THEM!! Don't make it as they have to chase you.

On another note:

I have an outstanding gripe with a magazine subscription offer, which I am still waiting for a gift to be sent to me as a thank you.Again I was told that someone would contact me within 2 days, which was a week ago.I am ready to name and shame, let's see what happens tomorrow!!

Now just so you don't think I am a moaning Git- here's some alternate definitions to some common words- enjoy

And Have you ever wondered:


When an agnostic dies, do they go to the "great perhaps"?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Do you think Houdini ever locked his keys in his car?

the difference between here and there?

Isn't it strange that the same people who laugh at
fortune tellers take economists seriously?

Hi Giff

My name is Becca Sibley and I work for NU, I'm glad that your claim is being sorted and I wanted to let you know that doing what we say we will do is something that is really important for us to learn.

My job is looking at what is being said about us online and trying to help the company learn from this.
