General Forum - Frikkin Norwich "Quote me happy" advert - Page 1
Elite
One particular aspect of those ads really bugs me,so I decided to get my own back this morning;
"Hello,Norwich Union Insurance can I help you"
"Yes,I'd like you to quote me happy please" (cue polite laugh from NU employee)
"Ok Sir,can I have some details"
"Certainly"
"Thank you sir,can I have details of the car please,make and model"
Now,this is where the fun starts 
"It's a hatchback"
"Make and model sir ?"
"Hatchback..."
"I'll need the make and model sir"
"Oh,well how come the people in your annoying ad get away with 'it's a hatchback' then ?"
"That's just an advert sir"
"So you really need a lot more details than 'it's a hatchback' ?"
"Oh yes Sir"
"Bye then"

There's everything that's wrong with modern Britain summed up in once sentence.
No desire to fight back.
Just tut and get on with it,and ridicule anyone that dares question anything.
Constant slapping down from Blair's nanny-state has dulled your brain.
Run man,RUN LIKE THE WIND !

Speaking of Norwich union, I just got a quote for the mrs for a Peugeot. Her car died so we got an old 106 as a stopgap. its a 96 N reg 1.4 xs.
Axa quoted £400 more or less spot on for fully comp. Norwich Union came up with 1900 quid, almost twice what the car is worth.
Quote me happy? Quote me hysterical more like. I laughed my arse off.

Excellent Bowfer. Hate the ads for exactly the same reason and nearly did the same thing myself.

Yup, take that corporate Britain!
I'm sure p***ing off that minimum wage call centre employee will make those advertising gurus think twice before releasing anymore non-factual representations of real life.
