The Retirement Thread

Our ride on mower needs quite lot of work done on it over the winter. It's 17 years old now, but to buy a new one like it well I could buy a car for the same price, so repair it is.

Get a goat.

Get a goat.

Good idea. I hear goat meat is nice.

Noooooo!

I still haven't forgiven myself for eating some in Cyprus.

It's an acquired taste I'll say.

 

[welsh dragon]

It's an acquired taste I'll say.

And I take it you didn't.

 

[classic33]

And I take it you didn't.

Not for the "Organic Free Range" goat I tried, normally sold at a price more than twice the weight of steak.

Better still get a goat and teach it to walk in straight lines.

 

[BoldonLad]

I have been wondering. What is an SID?

I am so pleased you asked, Paul

Or round in ever decreasing circles.

Another question. Possibly the mists are clearing. Does a claims handler work for the insurance company? I imagined this would be the person I speak to when I ring my insurer with a claim. Surely they want this to be as low as possible?

Or have I got the wrong end of a very sticky stick?

Claims handlers do work for the insurance company. They handle all the claims for accidents that happen to the person who is insured with them. They can't try to make the cost of repair as low as possible.

Quick follow up question.
Why not, as it'd be in their employers interest to pay out as little as possible, when the claim is made against their insured person.

You can't do things on the cheap. The clients deserve to have their cars repaired to the same standard and conditon it was before the accident.

If you bought a washing machine and it broke down, you would want it repaired to the same standard it was when purchased. You wouldn't want it done the cheapest it can as often you get what you pay for.
