As most know, my day job is an insurance broker to the taxi PH trade. Transcript of my last phone call:

CALLER: Can I have a quote please

ME: Certainly

CALLER: Its for my cousin

ME: OK but really I need to speak to him to make sure I get all the correct information

CALLER: Well he's sat next to me but he doesn't speak much English so he's asked me to call

ME (Thinking): I don't think so!

ME: OK Sir, what's his postcode

CALLER: BB-----

ME: I'm very sorry but we cannot quote for that area but thanks for your call

CALLER: But but but but

ME: I am sorry i cannot help you, try Swinton's they are in you area.

I bet he will take the knowledge test for his cousin to make sure he passes and probably a few other things

Hi 2jobs,

Any chance you can post who you work for, or PM if you don't want to reveal on here. Currently on the lookout for Private Hire insurance. Might be a company I've already tried, but you never know!

Many thanks.
