Something for the weekend sir? …Part deux!

Friday November 26, 2010 at 8:37am

Our first winter snow…..lets see how long it takes for the country grinds to halt!? I won’t go on about it s it’s the same story every year!!

Here is a good news story that happened to me yesterday regarding an insurance company!? I arrived home with two cheques sat on my doormat waiting for me….I had recently stopped my car insurance as I had sold my car, I did it the night before the next payment was due, and it was also going to be my annual renewal the next day, but a very helpful lady from the Swinton Group, stop my policy without hassling me, she simply asked if I had had a better quote, I told her I hadn’t, and that I was cancelling it for the said reason and would come back to them.

I thought that would be the end, but then I received the two cheques saying they had adjusted my policy appropriately and although not a large sum I had a refund of just over £30! A very pleasant and honest surprise!! Anyone else had a fortunate surprise this week??

Well as its Friday here are some amusing news stories from the past week…

  • £60k worth of Marmite stolen from warehouse (You either love it or hate it!) Yahoo News
  • Sarah Palin says North Korea is a US ally? (A future President?) BBC News
  • Swimming pool bans child floats under health and safety laws? (Only in the UK!) The Telegraph

Have you seen any funny or weird news stories this week?? 

Have an enjoyable weekend, enjoy the snow & Christmas shopping!!
