Nemesis Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'm currently grafting away on the Sizewell B refueling outage, 12 hour days 6 on 1 off, so with my day off being today I seized the opportunity to get some admin done. The list of "To Do's" was as follows. WSCC renewal - tick, and I'm still in no pain when it comes to paying the annual membership of this fine club. Diving Club renewal - tick, smarts a bit but I get value for money over the year. Talk to the boss about follow on work - tick, I got a less than definitive outlook but it looks like I won't starve this year. Oh it's all going so well...... Renew insurance on the ASBO, it was with Flux but I looked about to see if they could be beaten, that's when the headaches started, the agent from Lancaster insurance told me I'd had a non fault claim, "back in 2019 sir, so if you change your answer to yes for that question sir that will keep us right with disclosure sir" I was certain that I hadn't claimed and wasn't prepared to lie about it just to get a quote, so I went on a mahoosive mission to find out what manner of clerical error was going to cost me more money, and even more so might invalidate the tin top insurance because I said no to any claims in the last five years for that policy. After much gnashing of teeth and threats of FOI requests to all my previous insurers the nice man from Flux said "yeah I can see that claim sir, it was when you had the tin top insured with us sir, it was a windscreen claim sir and nothing to worry about sir, it doesn't affect anything sir" I replied with "oh yeah I remember that, I had forgotten about it but now I remember it, is that going to bite me in the rear if I bend the tin top?" No sir like I said it makes no difference" I asked why Lancaster were classing that as a non fault claim rather than a windscreen claim, his reply is not repeatable on here but he did explain to me how it might have come about, the lesson learned today being that some of the lesser brokers don't have and cannot access the full information on some data base thing he called Q, and as a result can cause bouts of elevated premiums, elevated blood pressure and splintered tooth enamel. Anyway ASBO insurance is renewed with Flux and now I'm going to the fridge to get a very cold one and watch a movie or two before bedtime !
