It's a Buildings and Contents policy with Hastings Direct. I've stuck with them for several years because the cost is reasonable and the cover good. Plus I really can't be bothered with the hassle of finding a quote £20 cheaper only to discover the bikes aren't adequately covered.
For me the deciding factor on B&C insurance is the bike cover. I'd stress the bikes are not "tacked on," a phrase people use which suggests to me the cover is an afterthought for the insurance company. My bikes are covered as named personal possessions and not under the general bike cover. I've got three named bikes with a total replacement value of £10000, new for old, worldwide, all risks excluding competition.
Total cost is £286 (last year was £276) so if the house burns down and bikes stolen on the same night we are all good. In my view this is the best route for cycle cover, a well respected company, reasonable cost and no rip off price from "specialist" insurers.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
My bike is Insured with Velosure. It costs me £97.00 for the year. My bike isn't worth as much as some people's but it Includes liability insurance as well.

It was intended to be for insurance companies that charge a bit extra to cover expensive items like decent bikes.
My bikes were covered on my house and contents insurance when I was a home owner.
I just need contents cover now that I am a tenant.

I watched it, very interesting, though some of the computer stuff in it might be a bit meaningless for some people. I did like the idea that malware might know its in a sandbox and refuse to cooperate with the person studying it.

As for my ENT appointment...
(One of my earholes must be a different size to the other because the little flexible plugs were chosen to fit.)
Free doctor's appointment. 1 week later, free hearing test. 30 minutes after test, free hearing aids tuned to my individual ear problems! Free lifetime support in case hearing aids develop faults or need retuning as my ears age further. Free batteries for life...
Damn 'commie healthcare'...

Coooooeeeee. I couldn't sleep. I was too hot and just got up in the end.
Might be a decent day when it warms up a bit.
Stay safe peeps

Good morning from a dull and grey Coventry, I was awake early, which is usual, but unusually I went back to sleep for an hour.
Good morning folks,
I’m moving up in the world! My anxiety dreams usually involve me getting on a bus only to find it’s become the wrong bus, or I can’t find the correct train at the railway station. Last night I was visiting the SpaceX assembly buildings in Texas and had to catch two airplanes to get home. Of course, the second plane changed destination mid flight…
Back in the real world, it’s warm and sunny, a good start to July. Daughter phoned last night about a Christmas family get together in Leeds, Mrs Tenkaykev has been looking at hotels..,

I think we might have. I'll check. Thanks.
Good morning all.
I'm off to the dental hygienist soon. A good clean and polish up. I haven't been for quite some years. Now it's £60 for a de-scale and polish
.
Then it's more of the usual, but this evening there is another retirement do for two more drivers. Very soon none of those who I used to work with and knew as youngsters will be retired.
Enjoy your day everyone.
