Oi! It was bad enough seeing the phrase "grumpy old man" in my peer
feedback in yesterday's performance review, but I'll take no such
stick from an old **** like you.

Bit of a cheek innit, them calling you old?

 

I always thought the Pru was a discerning company.

 

You are an *utter* anorak!

Age 17 1977 - AS3-125cc - £32 but that is the only one I can remember

Aged 16 so over 40 years ago - mobylette moped thingy 5 guineas sir on a
provisional license. Which was about a weeks wages for an apprentice.

 

Obviously the insurance company didn't think she caused the accident.

They will have seen reports of the incident and decided not to
contest it but that's not good enough, she still commited fraud in the
eyes of some of us.

 

I can't even remember what I paid for comprehensive cover on all my
bikes a few weeks ago let alone remember what I paid for cover a few
decades ago.

 

No they just decide if it is cheaper to contest or pay up. Decisions based
on financial probity with little thought to trend setting.

 

As I said to Loz neither can I, maybe to the nearest £50 or so. Just that
1st one that sticks in my mind. Bit like paying £175 for the AS3, £750 for
the RD250 and £75 for the Ducati 250. The rest just blurr.

 

Can't recall the peds but

17 GT250 £96 until written off
17 T140V £93
18 T140V £96

All FC

19 T140V £650 so I dropped to TPFT at £450 and then bought my first
car after about 8 months back down to > £100 for a 2L triumph.

 

Didn't I say that!

 

I'm a sad git. I still have the policy documents. I cant be arsed to
go and look them out cos i'm not as old as you lot

Ha!
Well i did cart stuff like this about for years but leading a nomadic
lifestyle and moving every couple of years one eventually "downsizes" to a
large rucksack and 4 Tesco bags.

 

....and a pram full of cats?

 

Is this a pussy joke?
