Postcode lottery!

This Postcode thing annoys me big time.

My insurance quote went up this year... with that gr8 excuse... the FLOODING!

I live in Putney (London) we had no FLOODING!

My reply to the insurance company was as follows:

"I had a feeling you might mention the floods... seems just a little unjust that if I make a claim my rates go up and when others make a claim, even non-motoring claims, my rates go up too!

Worst still, my rates are inflated due to living in London, whilst those outside London, in potential 'flood' areas get reduced premiums"

Aggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Darry.

Ps. As those that read my earlier post... I managed to reduce this to £0

Once, (IF) i manage to get a full year with out claiming I'll be phoning around. I only found one broker this year that would consider insuring me on the S4R.
Hopefully by the time I'm due for renewel I'll also have my IAM to throw in too.
