I have a Micra. I went with Direct Line this time, having been with another company for some years.


In past years I got several slightly lower quotes, but I stuck with who I was with because of their good customer service.


I went on to all the comparison sites this time, but if memory serves Direct Line aren't on them. I think I heard about them via the Money Saving Expert site which said you had to go to them directly for a quote, which I did. I think that must have been online too, but I can't remember now.


Obviously the proof will be in the pudding if I have to make a claim (which I sincerely hope I won't have to) but my premium is very considerably less than I was paying before.


Definitely worth getting a quote and checking them out and see what you think.

Yes, the moneysavingexpert site is very good for many things.


I always check it out first for anything financial.


Obviously a lot is common sense, but it's good to be reminded of common sense things as well :)

When you have a quote from Direct Line, (and maybe other quotes), you can always go back to your present insurance company and try to get them to match it.


I've had limited success with that, in that they've brought their original quote down a bit, but not much.


Last time, the difference in the premiums was so big that I switched, though.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
