	Yet when you get a renewal quote in the post it is always a chunk
higher than the previous year and you can always get a better competing
quote elsewhere, phone back the original company telling them you won't be
renewing because you have a better quote and usually get an offer from them
that matches or beats the one you told them about. Broker or direct IME it
makes no difference to this annual dance.

	Much time and effort could be saved if they would only quote their
real price and stick to it.
