Not having a go but have the residents said what the evidence is that NATO is behind these reported attacks? Russian media isn't exactly known for speaking the truth so I assume they're getting reports from somewhere credible? Do also they believe that Putin's critics all fall from high buildings accidentally?
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
On another note entirely I am very curmudgeonly about spending most of yesterday afternoon, trying and failing to get a better deal on car and house insurance. Companies offering multiple policy discount that prove more expensive than individual policies. 😒
I yearn for the days when you could just pop into a brokers, they'd come up with two or three 'good deals' and you'd just take your pick. Life was so easy then. From experience, maybe try LV?
I am with LV for car but their prices for house insurance are extortionate. If we went with them for both it would be more than a month's pension. I am Not spending 1/12 of my pension on insurance.
I stayed with my independent insurance broker for car insurance, and that seems to have worked well. Quite a few years ago, when our house and contents insurance kept shooting up, despite no claims, I asked the broker whether they dealt with house insurance as well. Yes they did! Every year now, they send me a choice of quotes, with recommendations and any relevant comparisons or changes pointed out for me. All seem very reasonable, no massive hikes, and I’ve done the occasional on line search to see what it would cost if I went direct. Usually more expensive. Certainly worth it to avoid the annual hassle of plodding through the internet.
I took a train ride this week to visit a dear friend, and fell foul of incidents on the line, and shortages of operational carriages, arriving back over half an hour behind schedule and exhausted. I’ve just managed to lodge a claim on the Delay Repay scheme, as I’m entitled to a 25% refund of the expensive ticket. However it’s taken me at least half an hour to wade my way through the process, registering an account and thinking up passwords, photographing my ticket and messing around. They don’t make it easy!
