My insurance paid up today and so I got a new.....

[Racing roadkill]

One of my bikes got nicked a couple of weeks ago, my household insurance covered it, and I received the money today, so I went out and bought a brand new............ Reclining leather Sofa chair, the payout wasn't enough to cover the cost of the nicked bike. I hate insurance companies.

Good to hear of an insurance company paying out without undue delay.

To be fair there wasn’t actually a lot in it ( between what I paid for the bike and what I got back ). The bike was a bargain in the first place

...you'd have to sit in them for a year before they were comfortable?

"One of my bikes got nicked a couple of weeks ago, my household insurance covered it, and I received the money today, so I went out and bought a brand new" So far so good. At this point I was thinking of posting "Finally, an insurance does something right!" Then I read the rest. That's normal, and it's one reason why I avoid insurance wherever I can. Even had they paid out in full, you would have paid that back in increased premiums which, ironically you may end up paying now anyway.

I got a sensible payout from home insurance a few years ago. I can't justify bike insurance though for the best part of £200 for a bike work £1k with some add one. But, of my bike was nicked again I'd expect my insurance to pay up. Catch 22, innit.

So they paid out in full and very quickly and you're still complaining?
