Equality in the insurance industry.

, , , , , , , ,

Of course, sexual equality doesn't mean that girls in insurance stand the same chance as men do of landing the top job, but it does mean that insurance companies can now not charge men more than women for insurance.

This has displeased a lot of female motorists who were getting cheaper car insurance then their compatriots of the opposite sex. To be honest it's miffed me a bit as well.

You see all these complainants were young women. The simple fact is that whilst young men have way more accidents than young women, and consequently are charged more for it, but in middle age the figures even out, and by the time old age (If that even exists any more...) hits, men have fewer accidents than their opposite numbers, and consequently pay less for their insurance. This particular little fact has been all but ignored by the media because it's a young world out there.

But it's miffed me because I've already been through the young motorist stage and paid more for my insurance than girls, even after they had accidents and I didn't, and I'm well on my way through middle age wherein I'm paying the same as the opposite sex, and the next stage will be old age, where I would have been paying less.

Only now, I'm not.

It's a square world.

Another seven days, another 'Question Time'.Another new clear day.

So that's why men's fashions changed - women's clothes - women's rates!

Lois: Too much cross dressing going on these days. I think Scots should agree not to wear kilts and in return women should stop wearing trousers.

There'd be so much less confusion that way.

Dapxin: That Anon sure got through a lot of stuff in his lifetime.

There was a young person called Herman
Who spoke both falsetto and German
Behind the blonde hair there was somebody there
but it's sex, one could never determine.

That's another of his.

But I LOVE men in kilts! Just watched "Stone of Destiny". They could have done with some kilts.

I only ever wore a kilt once. I felt obliged to do it after discovering that we had a family tartan. I must admit it felt wonderfully free and airy, but people would keep asking me to show them what I wore underneath it, and if I had I'dve been arrested...
