Direct Line, who I was with for my old car, and Churchill, who I'm with now, don't charge any more for class 1 business cover.

Sounds like LAT's or something.

There's a fellow at our office who comes from a smaller office around the area. Never does mail but takes parcels and stuff back and forth. Makes sense.

More likely a postie. Description is vague enough to change his hours to suit RM & can be called to move to where there are staff shortages.

What I do find strange, is that all the new vacancies are fixed term contracts. Anybody got any input on why that is the case?

I started on a fixed term contract; everybody did when I started 5 years ago. I've never known anybody not taken on. Many companies start new staff on trial or probation periods. It may also be about the upcoming changes, but if my office is anything to go there's a constant demand for staff as the rate we recruit at never keeps up with those that resign or retire. May change as unemployment increses in the coming months, but we're that slow at recruiting I doubt it.
