Privilege Insurance - Apalling and inefficient customer service

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Poor service generally; pedantic; lack of response to complaints; ridiculous hold times

...I had always driven Company Cars until last November when I was made redundant and purchased my own car and insurance for the first time. Privilege were the cheapest quote I found. I set up the policy on line and was advised that I could have a no claims discount if I provided proof from my previous employer's insurer that I had made no claims. I requested this via my employer but it was not forthcoming and I contacted Privilege in Jan 09 to advise them that I had not deliberately 'overlooked' this but was having difficulty due to the redundancy circumstances. They then cancelled my policy in February. At this point I was fairly sanguine as I had not provided the proof. I reinstated the policy with zero no claims on the understanding that when I managed to obtain proof of no claims I would receive a backdated refund of the difference...

What a privilege!

Advantages: Characterisation, description, exciting read
Disadvantages: made me cry :( not for the weak-hearted or squeamish

...Having read and enjoyed all of the Grant County series previously, I had very high expectations of this book. Skin Privilege has a similar structure to the other books in the series, and focuses on one particular case, which turns out to be more complicated than it first seems. It takes place mostly outside of Grant County, with the three main characters (Jeffrey, Sara and Lena) all being based in Lena's hometown of Reece. Karin Slaughter continues to develop the characters fantastically, and her writing gives a real sense of closeness to the people, and their relationship to one another. Personally, I have never liked Lena, but this book really shows a different side to her which made her chapters a lot more exciting and interesting to read, whereas previously I would only skim through her chapters. Furthermore, I was particularly...

Review of Skin Privilege - Karin Slaughter

The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...As most people in Britain own a washing machine, many, like me, probably struggle to get there washing dry, especially with the glorious sunshine and top quality weather that is constantly warming our cheery faces, (that was sarcasm by the way), so the invention of the clothes/tumble dryer was a god send. So when my old dryer suddenly decided to stop blowing hot air, whilst also gaining a sort of stutter, I decided to go on the hunt for another similar one, coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there?s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus...

Review of White Knight 44AW

It's a Privilege to have good insurance.

Advantages: Low cost, swift claims handling
Disadvantages: Minor niggles with paperwork not being filled in correctly

...I used to have a car insurance policy with Direct Line (same company as Privilege) but when I had a high quote two years ago, I shopped around. Privilege gave me protected no claims, guaranteed hire car and legal protection for about £70 less than my original quote. I must admit, there were a few niggles - when I moved house they changed my address but not my postcode, when I changed my car they changed the make and model but not the colour. Nothing a quick phone call couldn't sort out. The real test came in Feb. this year, when another woman decided to drive straight into the back of me. This resulted in damage to my car, and myself and my daughter in agony with whiplash injuries. Luckily we were both on half term holiday, and had time to sort the claim out and rest for a week. One call to privilege and I had calls from the garage...

~ THE WHITE DELIGHT ~

Advantages: Excellent tatse, Great quality wrapping, Nice smell
Disadvantages: none

...~ THE WHITE DELIGHT ~ After seeing this on this week?s product of the week last night I decided to give it a try. I don?t actually eat a lot of chocolate unlike most females and i prefer sweets, as most chocolate bars make me feel ill after. Saying this though i have always liked Kit Kat bars. I prefer white chocolate to normal and I love kit kats so thought I would enjoy one of these bars. White chocolate is defiantly my favourite kind, so after buying a bar from my local shop last night I was intrigued to see if it was any better than the original Kit Kat bar. I can say it was thanks to Ciao that I managed to try one even though I have seen them in the shops for a while. The bar itself is also very eye catching so I think I would have got one at some point. They were set in a large white box right by the till so i would be...

Review of Nestlé Kit Kat White Chocolate

White chocolate and muffins

Advantages: tastes good and cheap
Disadvantages: lots of calories

...I found that there is a cheap chocolate trio available is Sainsbury?s Basics series. Actually I have tried all of them but now I review the white chocolate. First impressions ---------------------- This chocolate is in a white wrapper as the Sainsbury?s Basics series usually are wrapped. The Sainsbury?s logo and the White Chocolate title on it are written with orange. The bar is 100 g and costs 0.27 pounds. The wrapper can be opened easily. It is cheap wrapper so don?t expect to be re-sealable. It has all the nutritional and ingredients information on the wrapper. The white chocolate looks exactly the same as white chocolates look. It has a light beige colour. It smells sweet but in positive way. Ingredients: ---------------- Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Whole Milk Powder (from Cows' Milk), Whey Powder (from Cows' Milk), Skimmed Milk...

Review of Sainsbury's Basics White Chocolate

White On!

Advantages: Well-written, directed and performed
Disadvantages: Some of the violence is rather nasty and the film won't be everyone's cup of tea

...Collin Friesen delights in oddball characters in bizarre situations. In many ways it follows the example set by TV's "Northern Exposure". Only this time the interloper is a tightly-wound insurance investigator instead of a doctor and rather than slowly falling for the community, he rails against it. Nobody in the film is entirely normal - they all have a burning desire to get out of "The Big White" that manifests itself in all manner of character quirks. Whether it is Ted's attention to detail, Paul's willingness to do anything no matter how morally suspect, or Margaret's Tourettes, they are all unravelling. There's a peculiar sense of paranoia that underlines the whole film. But as the old joke goes, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. This is certainly true of the Alaskan wasteland the characters inhabit. In...

WHITE MALTESERS.

Advantages: A great tasting white chocolate Malteser.
Disadvantages: Quite sweet.

...---WHITE MALTESERS--- I love Maltesers. I think the combination of textures is just great and the fact that they are made in a sphere shape makes them fun to eat. In production since 1936 Maltesers are still made today in the same factory in Slough where it started all those years ago. Their idea was to use the goodness of malted milk and chocolate to bring the consumer a great taste with good ingredients and all wrapped up in a fun ball shape. Maltesers come in all sorts of sizes and packaging with several great variations to flavour. I like the box you can buy at the cinema; it somehow seems more fun to eat them from the box as the Maltesers roll around inside. There is even a large ball shaped container now, though I haven't come across this yet and Mars advertise this as 'Just for fun'. I think their huge...

White Myths

Advantages: Detailed action fantasy, with real world echoes
Disadvantages: None

...real solid evidence of their existence and in their intervention in the affairs of man. The context for Auraya's tale, then, is not one we will have to work hard to understand. It lies within us already, in the all the myths and legends we've grown up with?from the ancients to Robin in Sherwood. The gods, the evil-doers on earth, and the good people trying to resolve the differences. Auraya is Circlian, but Auraya's mother is ailing. This matters more than the ways of her people and so she seeks out the knowledge of both the priest Avorim and the Dreamweaver Leiard and will take whatever each can teach her. Her village lies in Hania who are in alliance with Dunway. On the whole the Dunwayans do not wish war with Hania, for they have access to the White, the chosen ones, spokesmen of the gods themselves. But there are those...
