It's time to renew our car insurance, so I thought I'd go to a few online 
comparison sites and put in the details.  I got some impressive quotes, so 
I rang up the best one to confirm the quote, only to be told "I don't know 
why you got such a low quote - the system says it should be about 3 times 
as much."

So, onto the next one, to be told the same thing.  At least this next one 
explained that it must be to do with... the postcode problems.

So, I've spent ages filling in online quote forms, only to be told that 
the quotes range from unreliable to gibberish, all thanks to Royal Mail. 
So tomorrow evening will be spent on the phone to each company - joy!

And there's some other insurance due in three weeks...
