I'm well chuffed with Adrian Flux. Norwich Union sent my renewal form today and the premium had increased from 10 monthly payments of £67-ish, to £99.81  :shocked:  :shocked: Partly price hikes, partly due to the claim they're still doing for me from my crash in June   :rolleyes: Anyway I told 'em where to shove it.
