just rung direct line up to tell them we have removed the tinted film on the rear windows ........ sheilas premium has now dropped by £16 per month ..... foofin stoopid innit ? ...... a lesson there perhaps

I get 45p per mile, which I thought was a bit tight. I might not moan about it now. It went a lot further in 2001 though.

Still its budget day tomorrow and the chancellor is going show us how much he cares about his people by giving us something back on fuel costs... try not to hurt yourself when falling of chair laughing

And this statement doesn't add up Dave - its completely contradictory:

"theyve had their essential user allowance taken off them but are still required to keep a car running for work"

Any half decent employment lawyer would wipe the floor with the employer if that was true...I suspect its been added to their salary because they can't be 'required' to make their private vehicle available for work.

It does make sense and its the situation they find themselves in. They are required to attend external appointments in a timely and efficient manner, thats contractural.

Other than the 100 mile rule (which brings in trains etc), no other option is available although i do know someone who goes everywhere on his pushbike the only realistic viable option is to run a car .

Their employer offers them a given rate to use said car as part of their employment t&c s......contractural.

Thats the grey area but very carefully laid out.

You would be laughed out of the place for suggesting its been added to their salary.

The taxi option you mentioned in the public sector these days is cloud cuckoo land.

The old essential user was a lump sum per month as a retainer with a lower per mile rate. The per mile rate went up to compensate the loss of the lump but still hasnt reached 38p.

because these are the rates, period,

I have just been informed they have not been in that long, hence the change in ours to maintain our rate in pocket.

when did they come in?

I am assured that our payment was legit lawful and untaxed :thumb2

We even had a tick box on our claim form for hmrc benifit which indicated if a given journey was in our opinion taxable. Several caveats applied to that and i did pay tax on a few claims however on the occasions I didnt tick , or i didnt put a claim in my tax paid was the same each month.

Insurance

Hi guys. I just got my first Mistral and was shocked by the insurance. I am 48 with 19 years no claims bonus. My old cover for a saab 900 2.0 was £195 fully comp. My new cover for the Mistral is £640 !!! It seems if I had a Terrano II it would be £303 for the same year (94) work it out???

Its probably because like my R3mR its an import. I was with Adrian Flux last year they wanted well over £600 for renewal.
I moved to NFU local office £434 only 2 years NCB in wifes name she is 55.
I did a lot of shopping around to get that price. Good news was the excess on a claim and glass cover was lower than Adrian Flux.
This year most insurance has risen substantially on vehicles a lot of it is due to the Ambulance chasers raising premiums everything costs somebody something.
