Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money.

cooling off periodTook out motorbike insurance for a week's time (this story is set further than a week ago, in the past).
The next day, before any of the bits of pointlessly wasted tree turned up with whoever-it-was' logo on them I decided to add my dad as a named rider.
Gave them a call, apparently it would be no extra on the premium but there would be a £15 'admin charge'.
Pointed out that the cover hadn't even started yet and I could just cancel it and sign up again in the same phonecall for additional net cost of 0 pounds.
'I'll just check with my supervisor.... Sir there will be no extra charge today'
Cheers robot phone mong.
