Car insurance is due on the Duckmobile in a few weeks and I Don't think the current insurers are so current anymore..in fact they were taken over by some other company..
I've not heard anything from the present company but had a load of quotes from go compare come through...It's gone up by £110...How the hell does that happen...
I'm tempted to fuck the insurance off altogether if these companies are gonna be like that...🤬🤬🤬🤬🦆

Looking at those booze prices I am glad I can't be arsed with alcohol any more. Back in the late eighties I was working in a bar and folks were pissed at beer going up to £1.05 a pint and 95p for a blended whisky like Grouse or White and MacKay. No wonder so many folks seem to have taken up growing 'tomato plants' instead of boozing. Price of tobacco is a disgrace too. Couple of months ago I gave up my pipe again as I was simply pissed off about paying seventeen quid for a two ounce tin plus shipping from the tobacconist in Edinburgh. Sadly my homegrown tobacco has been a complete letdown due to being too late in the year and lack of suitable light. My shed lights just aren't bright enough and so the plants were growing at a snail's pace.

Meant to put this on last week, but kept gettin distracted at work.
Last Monday, bank hol 3rd of Jan, me, our Gert, Mi son, and mi grandson went to Matlock Bath. We walked along t'other side of t'river, and let mi grandson play in t'playground for a bit, then continued on and across t'bridge to t'promenade side. We decided to call for a pint before we looked at all t'bikes. We called in t'Midland, for those that know Matlock Bath. I ordered a pint of Doombar, a pint of Birra Morretti, and half a cider. £13.30!!!! Thirteenfuckinthirty! Normally, I'd have gone back to t'bar and asked him to check again, but it was busy-ish, and I didn't. It's bin bugging me ever since. I've got t'pubs number and I'm gonna ring to ask. If its a mistake, fair enough, we all make em, but if it's their normal prices, I'll never go in again.

We hold events at various hotels, and always take a few cases of whatever we are drinking. When the hotel set up a bar during the evening parties they got very upset when the bar takings were less than 1/4 of what they would expect to make at similar sized corporate events they started getting security to do bag searches for alcohol as our attendees were coming into the evening parties. So during the day we set up a booze drop at our technical desk so our regulars were coming into the party and collecting their drinks from us. It pissed the hotel management off but if they are going to overcharge they should expect people to bring their own. One of their managers asked us to make an announcement about people bringing in their own drinks while standing in front of our stash half a dozen cases of beer, a few bottles of vodka, whisky, and other - and pretending not to notice it!

A crowd of bikers I know from the turn of the millennium played it differently.

We booked out a hotel in Kenilworth for our Christmas bash - agreement was the bar stays open until we are 'finished'.

After a night of mucho fun, which saw mini-moto racing in the car park, and partially in the reception area, various other 'escapades' and drinking til gone five, we were a bit worried at breakfast when the owner of the place turned up and asked who the organiser of the event was.

Nothing to worry about - he said we'd always be welcome! That's what drinking the bar dry twice and getting it refilled does ;)

I just cut and pasted this from another bike forum, might help?............

MCE customers, let us help. Many of you are waking to news that your motorcycle insurance policy will end this month due to no fault of your own. It also appears that the no claims bonus you’ve earnt during your latest policy year will be erased, so if you had earnt 10 months for example, you’ll lose that and any discount that would have rightfully brought you at renewal. To try and help you, we at Bikesure have agreements in place with some of our insurers that if you’ve been insured with MCE for nine months or more and have been claim free during this time, we will honour that years no claims bonus when we quote you. For anyone that falls outside of the nine months, although we can’t honour one years no claims bonus, we may still be able to look favourably on your circumstances when quoting you as we appreciate the situation you are in. As a result we’ve set up a dedicated phone line to speak to you and offer this service which is 0800 085 9273 so please call us and let us help you. Alternatively you can PM me on here if you have any questions

get quotes on comparison sites, saying you want the policy to start on the 1st of the month, then ignore them. As time goes on, you will get emails/texts, offering a lower price. Ignore them too. Eventually, as the end of the month gets near, and the reps need to meet their targets, to get their monthly bonus, they will drop the price to the minimum that they can go. I do it every year. I first went from £638 to £83, by telling them that was what i had been quoted somewhere else.. And i haven't paid a penny more for the last 10yrs. :)
