I have stupidly thrown away my courier without getting the code for the travel insurance. Can anyone help? :crazy:

I don't think you need the code - when I took out the PO Travel Insurance I just rang
them and told them I worked for Royal Mail and they gave me the employee discount.
(the number should be shown in the PO Insurance ad above).

I for one look forward to my Courier magazinr evry month....

Informative and full of useful facts and info.....

I like the way they reply objectively to all the points raised in the letters page, and I especially enjoy the focus each month on an office where EVERYONE loves the new working practises/flexibility arrangements...

Fair enough - I didn't know you got 25% off online, or I would have done that too.
Dug my last Courier out off the recycling box - the ad doesn't say anything about
online discount. It says the 25% discount is for annual multi-trip policies, and 15%
off single trip policies, and you need to ring 0800 316 4310 and quote STFTRV.

What if, like me, you live in a council flat - where are you going to put said Bar-b-que ( other than e-bay, obviously )? And what are the council going to say about you storing a gas appliance on your property, without the gas safety valve they require by law?!!!! :d'oh! :d'oh! :d'oh! :d'oh!

C'mon you Courier muppets, just because you and your chinas can afford a nice middle / upper middle class lifestyle, don't mean the rest of us can - howabout something useful for all of us! While you're at it, sort out the CSMA - I joined for cheaper car insurance, and get 5 cheaper prices after 10 minutes on Confused.com! :arrrghhh
