    landy insurance

    try adrian flux i have 130 crew cab insured with then sign written and chip box, no winch as yet but they said would not make difference in quote,
  2. there is comany around my way who let all the others do the quotes then promise to better then by at least £150, they are absolute cowboys know ppe etc but getting work as people looking to save money, normal insured companies with full hse equipment etc cant afford to drop to the prices they will do it for (and yes i believe they have been reported more than once to hse and trading standards) you just have to put up with it and let there work do the talking. i have been out twice now to but things right finish jobs.

  7. I believe the bottom quarter of your thread was typical male bravardo, we all sufferer from, from time to time, and you just wrote what you did in the heat of the moment, neighbours can be a pain but give them a fair crack, she probably hasn't a clue her tree is causing such distress, go round have a chat be polite and friendly, and iam sure she will be more than willing to compromise. ( fellow members i to think the thread bottom half is wrong and shows us in the wrong light but iam sure we have all had thoughts we have said or put in writing that we regretted)
