I lie far more these days than I ever thought I would just to make people happy. I'm bloody tired.

I was hoping for more than 100% ineffectual. I'm basically paying everything out of pocket at this point.
And there are those in the UK who think our NHS should privatise it with 'contractors' [which means lower wages and more cash syphoned off for the Fat Cats].

Just give me strength to get through to better days.

I've been with the same Breakdown company for 38 years by their reckoning, 50 by mine. Their dating runs from their computer system start.
The policy reviews on 1 Jan. The quotation for automatic renewal included a 10% increase over this year.
I went online and checked with their major competitor. For exactly the same cover, except 'free' extras as a long-term member that I don't want or use, the quote was half the cost.
I went to the original company's site. As a new member my cover for year one would cost the same as the other company i.e 50% of what they want me to pay.
I rang the original Breakdown company. After a short conversation, they offered me a 30% discount for 2 years, or a 45% discount for one year. I went with one year, keeping the 'free' extras.
The original quote was a rip-off for a long-term member. Arguing is worthwhile.
And it's not just the Breakdown mob. I get the impression that it also affects Gas, Electricity and Insurance , too.
B@st@rds.
They're still Volvos though .I used to renew my car insurance automatically. Now I use comparison sites and insurance companies' websites. Now I pay less for two Volvo estates than I used to pay for one three years ago.
