Insurance Car

getting bored now

Advantages: it can be funny
Disadvantages: it gets on ur nerves eventually

at first this ad was funny and it was fun trying to work out who all those bev's and kev's were, but once it was worked out that these were in fact the same people past and present ( or even present and future ) it kinda lost the humourous side to it. Anyway, it still has my kids as confused as ever!!! Will they ever get the hang of the advertising gimmicks? I dont think so. How many adverts these days get the message accross simply and precisely? ...
...if the advertisers come up with anything else like the kev bev saga. I used to watch the ads but now i make a cup of tea instead. But hey, i may not find the ad funny anymore but bev and kev still look funny in a weird sort of way lol. ...

Sheila's Wheels need to get staff who know what they are doing!!!

Advantages: Prices are good until you need something else
Disadvantages: Staff are useless and totally without product knowledge

...Well........... I had Sheila's Wheels for 21 months - everything was OK - it was a good price and easily taken on and renewed at a good price with added extras. BUT and it is a GREAT BIG BUT!!!!...........I decided to change my car, found the one I wanted but, because I beat the new car seller down on price, they would not take the old one, so I had to sell it privately. Therefore, I needed to keep the old one insured.... SO, being the optimistic ...
...put his premium and his Sheila's Wheeels Insurance and immediately cancelled the insurance for the old car with them. He was also very taken aback and I really think that he just did not know what to make of the situation. He stuttered and ummed and ahhed but I was adamant. and immediately looked for other insurance which I found through Confused.com. I ended up with the Post Office, who couldn't have been more helpful and dealt with what I wanted ...

Review of Sheila's wheels

I 'n' sure y'all like this!

Advantages: A change from the crash and smash
Disadvantages: Insurance.. Boooooring!

...in a previous life) Norwich Union Car Insurance Advert I am making the assumption here that we are talking about the latest run of adverts starring Craig Cash, and not the previous “quote me happy” run of continual irritation. Now, I’m not going to explain to you all what Insurance is to fill up room and make you read lots of interesting underwriting stuff and the like, but I feel it may be of help to give a really basic potted history of what ...
...Aviva kept the name of Norwich Union (NU) intact in the UK, and currently use the blue yellow and green (church steeple) logo formerly associated with Norwich Union Direct (NUD) products. NUD (and Aviva) also have lucrative contracts with companies such as Asda, Ford, and Barclays whose branded insurance is handled by NU. It’s not only insurance, NUD also sells electrical goods, cars, car breakdown cover, and is soon to take ownership of HPI, the ...

Review of Norwich Union Direct car Insurance (TV advert)

Diamante with a Diamond price tag

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: An advert that (had it been done the other way) would have been hauled into court and banned

...after suffering through months of Diamond and Shiela's Wheels adverts, which are in effect sexist, in the same manner that a lot of insurance companies were criticised in the 1980s for giving preferential rates to males because of the 'Woman Driver' stigma. This sort of company that blatantly disregards the sexual equality act should be hauled through the legal fires and picked apart until they conform to the values that government has set out, ...
...been keep an eye on the traditional offender while turning a blind eye to the traditionally victimised party ..... this sort of treatment is usually termed positive discrimination, and is technically illegal. The following quote is taken from the Sex Discrimination Act (1975) "Direct sex discrimination:- This is where a woman (or man) is treated less favourably than a person of the opposite sex in comparable circumstances is, or would be, because ...

Review of Diamond Car Insuranc [TV Advertisement]

nodding along

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

I don't know whether or not anybody else does this but when this ad appears on my t.v screen I end up nodding along with the dog. The idea of the nodding dog in itself is quite a funny concept but I think that they could have made him have a wider vocabulary than just yes, yes, yes, or no, no, no. It has to be said though that the tune of this old man could do with changing, after a few watches during the day the tune gets stuck in my head, most ...
