Title: call centre
Post by: kimbobill on June 19, 2008, 10:38:21
Sir Alan Sugar was on room 101 last night and reminded me of what happen last week.

I phoned to renew my car insurance with NFU

3 rings and the phone was answered I expected a press 1 for... 2 for...

someone said "Hello" That really threw me,

"Oh! You said hello"

laughter "How can I help"

I told her what a refreshing change to be answered straight away. I will be taking all my other insurances over to them not only because of that,  their quote was as good as the rest

By the way I don't work for NFU or associated in anyway except as a mutual member the same as everyone else

I called them for a car insurance quote once, as someone had recommended them. They wouldn't insure me because I wasn't a farmer. But they were very nice about it!

Yep, they no longer only do farmers, which is a pity because it seemed to lead to my insurance going up.

But it's the only policy that I've had that specified how many goats I could have in the car and that I was allowed to carry my goat but not my neighbour's.

I have heard that more companies that based themselves in Asia  are now considering moving back to the UK ;)

Nice one 8) "thou shalt not transport they neighbour's goat, nor his ass nor anything that is thy neighbours."  :P Anything else in the Policy of note? :D
