It is a familiar business model of offering vastly overpriced customer

I renewed my car insurance last Friday, no change in cost from last year
and unlikely to be beaten elsewhere. During the call to renew, the droid
tried to up-sell with offers for extra cover for any tools and equipment
I might have in my garage. There is a hell of a lot of tool money in
there, but chances of anyone breaking in and walking out with anything
useful - nill. It just doesn't happen here, besides they would need a
truck to get away with much and people might notice.

That may be true if you live on Lundy, but I'm rather sceptical elsewhere.

I'm just trying to remember what pride comes before.
