i used to have it.

got money when mrs banddy was in hozzy, and that was the only time in many years we needed to make a claim and it was only for 4 or 5 nights in hozzy
...but, as you say, if you don't have the cover, you could look on that as a "saving", but everybody is different and so is their situations.

some people will "benefit" from the policies, but it's your call, as to whether or not these policies are "worth" having.

Had the guy in from Personal Group last week offering us these policies. I didn't take it but it did feel like quite a hard sell at one point. What is it exactly? I never sign up for anything when put on the spot so didn't take it all in.

We had a rep of theirs in last year, it was a proper hard sell, including heavy flirting from the very attractive girl, but most told her no.
Can't afford it. I suppose it may be worth it for older postman, as they are statistically more likely to suffer with health issues.
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't a Rep.

what a picky lot...I'd have had her drawers down faster than one of our famous runners when asked to lapse and given her some personal attention.
