Don't mock - for those of us of rather more mature years SAGA do some great deals .... car
insurance, I changed to them about 3 years ago and saved 20% - and when the renewal came for the
next year the premium (in actual money) had gone down - result! The downside was their "offer" to
change insurer ... it was one of those nice cardigans with the leather "football" buttons, very
cool! (only joking)

... and, if you live in the Midlands SAGA Radio is great too.

The stair lift, eject-u-pult granny chairs and insurance to secure your box & plot ads will not be
far behind.

Remember -- a man is only as old as the woman he feels -- so its down to you to keep him young.

Mentally I'm about 17. Will that do? As for actual age - I'm an apprentice old bag ;-)

How do they DO that? I received my first item of junk mail from SAGA the week after my 50th and I
now get their stupid magazine every now and then. I assumed that one of my 'ever so jolly' chums had
signed me up as a joke. Seems that this was not necessarily so.

Glad they offered you a good deal. Or were you paying too much before? I asked them for a car
insurance quote and they were miles out!

My wife and a friend of mine both received SAGA mailshots just after they turned 50.Sadly I will be
due for mine next year.On the same subject,after registering with the Mailing Preference Society for
junk mail and phone calls there has been a substantial reduction in both.Get in before 50 and you
may well be spared the SAGA correspondence.

We've already done that - and yes, it significantly reduces the amount of junk stuff we get.

I did so about six weeks ago. I also added my name (removed my name?) from the junk telephoneers.

Excellent results, IMO, and well worth doing.

NTL: my telephone provider.

Not forgetting the constipated wife "Log in the Bog"

There's always the racist and violent brother "Floggin' the W**"

The distant relation from Lancashire had similar tastes to Snoggin'. Her best friend is "Frog
in a Clog"

The list is almost endless. Not quite endless - thank goodness.

The wife & I own a car, and it's insurance renewal time again.

We used to own two cars, so we both have no claims discount. Neither of us has any convictions, and
neither of us has made a claim in living memory. So we insure the cra alternate years, to keep up
both sets of discounts.

So, same car, same claims history (i.e. none), and of course the same risk.

The premium quoted for her is £60 less than the lowest premium I can get.

Probably related to the accident record of middle-aged men in cars with 2.3 litre engines, I
suppose, but quite why I should be less likely to crash on her policy than mine I don't fully
understand...

Are you sure about this? Are you on the vehicle documents as joint owners? It may matter in the eyes
of the insurer.

I guess that insurance companies know that they pay out less on policies held by women. You would
probably save even more money if you gave up driving completely and let your wife do it all.

Because the name the policy is in is the 'main driver' (in every set of smallprint I've read). If
the main driver of teh car is designated as your wife it's reasonable to assume that she drives it
more than you, and vice versa. Hence difference in premium. Of course, that means that on alternate
years, you're relying on insurance obtained under false pretenses, and if they get wind of it,
you'll find your cover evaporating when you need it.

Another oddity - last time I tried the combinations my wife had (marginally) worse claim record than
I did. If I insured the car for me as the only driver, we got one premium. If I added her as a
second driver, the premiumm went down. I think that one must be something along the lines of if the
car is in both our names, she's less likely to drive it drunk than I am, so by both being named,
it's less likely to be driven when the driver really oughtn't be driving. (Likely in a statistical
sense - since I'm teetotal and she isn't it doesn't actually work out that way for us).

But £60 is nearly 20% difference in premium. It seems a lot. Obviously blokes are terrible drivers
on average.

As far as the insurers are concerned it's not important whether blokes are terrible drivers on
average. All that matters is that they make more claims.

Ah, well, we thought about that. It depends on what you mean by main driver, you see. I drive for
any family trips and holidays and such, so I am the main driver by mileage, as well as the
registered keeper. My wife does any fetching and carrying from school so is the main driver by
number of journeys.

Indeed, and this is teh situation we are in also - I do the most mileage, but it's occasional long
trips (it sometimes goes weeks between me driving it), my wife does the most trips.
