[Closed] You know you've reached a certain age when...

The year I turned 30 I collected 6 points and my premium still came down 😕

I'm actually very pleased. Having an "M" postcode makes it expensive to insure anything other than one of these.

Ours went up by 50%, and that was after shopping around for the cheapest. Ahh the joys of an L postcode...

You know you've reached a certain age when...

...the hairdresser says "Eyebrows too, sir?"

When there's no need to even go to a hairdresser.
(Hairdresser? You fairy. Men go to barbers) 😉

I stand corrected. The hairdressers I go to is called 'The Barber Shop'. 😕

HtS, you're the same age as me. my premium went up by about £150 in May! I wonder if the switch from M to BL will have a positive effect on it?

I went from this:

Having an "M" postcode makes it expensive to insure anything

To this:

Ahh the joys of an L postcode...

And, in spite of having moved out of a city to a small village where the last British Crime Survey recorded zero crime, my insurance premium didn't change. The only thiveving gits are the insurance companies themselves....

I've seen you drive. That is why your premiums have gone up. 😉

At HtN I honestly thought you were going to roll it!

LOL at Headfirst....... True, so true.. 😳

I get Ms. now instead of Miss?

Also when I was looking at face creams in Boots last week the woman said to me "this is better for mature skin"

*sobs*

You're chuffed to mint balls when you find a dark pube!

I've got a BL postcode and moved from a BB postcode so from a town centre high crime area to a rural area and mine went up!! Must be coz they knew Binners was moving in....

ha! not a chance, wood chips on soft mud- it was always just gonna slide a bit, never leave the deck though!

Good job. You would have taken out a dog poo bin, the caterers and half the ambulance crew.

Twenty-something females don't even acknowledge your presence.

...you click on threads like this.

I'd suggest that theft claims only make up a small part of the overall claims for a motor insurer?

And bear in mind that claims cost goes into the equation as well, so a common working class area may have many more claims than an affluent area but they still don't add up to the losses in the affluent area.

Back to the OP, you know when you are getting properly old when your premium starts to resemble a teenager's.

..your diet stars to contain a heck of a lot of fibre....... 😀

The Barber doesn't even look at your bald scalp and just starts on the mono-brow and ear growth 😉

... 30 seconds into a conversation with an interesting and atttractive female, you get:

"...my husband/partner/boyfriend".

Beam me up, Scotty.

You don't have to worry about avoiding temptation...it has a worrying habit of avoiding you.

Your car insurance renewal premium comes down.

Meh. Even my insurance company thinks I'm dull and past it.

Mine too for the 11th year running 😀

0 points on my licence for 12 years & no claims in 15 years might help 😉

Oh and you must have been a bad boy Loddrik as I only just live out of the L postcode area

...you wander into a thread, and then can't remember what you wanted to do there.

The female manager of the bar says 'I like it when you come here, you attract lots of single women to the bar'

Just as you feel great she adds 'They feel safe talking to you as you are too old to make a pass at them'

🙁

You look at the mum as well as the daughter 😉

HtS, you're the same age as me.

I was shocked when I found out how old xherbivorex is. I am now shocked to find Harry_the_Spider is the same age.

You have to politely ask your mates kids, who you've known this they were born, to stop calling you 'Uncle' as they're adults and now taller than you 🙁

It is supposed to be the answer to the question of life the universe and everything, but it is actually like being 28, but with bad knees.
