It was snowing at Canary Wharf this morning. Nah, not
the real stuff, well it was real, it’s just that the origin of it was from a
snow making machine rather than from the sky. I have
no ideas why it’s there, but there was a swing set there this morning with snow
being blown from a pipe on the top of it. I think those folks taking a swing on
would get a wet sit down upon.
Still no news on The Man’s visa application. It’s been
about 6 weeks now.
There was an article in a local paper the other day
about a private investigation company employed by the Border Agency. They were employed
to hunt down over stayers. Only trouble is the letters they sent to the so
called overstayers who had according to the private agency been illegally in
the country for the last four years, had actually gone home more than four years
ago. The article didn’t say if the letters were addressed to them in their home
country or not.
Talk about rip off Britain, were watching a programme about
insurance rip offs. One of the things it revealed was that if the accident was
not the claimants fault then the claimant’s insurance company would inflate the
cost of the repairs to get more money.Conversely if it was the claimants
fault, the insurance companies would try to drive down the costs. Doing this by
charging out labour costs at different rates depending on whether they were at
fault or not.
The insurance companies are also getting rebates on
paint, parts and add on deals. Not only that, the repairers are forced to use
specified suppliers and having to buy specified quantities of paint.
Sounds like price fixing to me.
