Ah, here in lies the twisted truth.

It's not the Aerials, it's the insurance companies. That was my whole point.

How come the insurance companies can vary premiums and discounts for the motor vehicle insurance eh? Hmmm? Called no claim bonuses, rating 1 for life campaigns, how old are you, variable excesses etc etc?

The whole point is I want insurance companies to see that they are the STUPID ONES. Dont lump us all together, do differentiate, do look at previous claims, do look at qualifications, do look at the work being done, do look at who runs the business and their experience etc etc etc.

Don't just rip premium out of the next schmuck with a chainsaw coz YOU THINK you'll make a profit. Dont you have actuaries that calculate risk and claims ratios, insuring people is not a lottery, not a gambling system but a business based on legitimate skills.
