APPS DRIVE ME MAD!!!

Postby Workingman » 13 May 2025, 18:28

I am trying to get quotes for the car inurnace and these are a brief look at what the singer with the pointy moustache and Aleksandr and Sergei have sent me. They will only open on apps on my phone and I do not do apps.

<style type="text/css" xml:space="preserve">/* Force Outlook to provide a "view in browser" menu link. */
#outlook a {
padding: 0;
}

/* OSX/iOS Text Adjustments. */
body {
width: 100% !important;
-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

/* Prevent Webkit and Windows Mobile platforms from changing default font sizes, while not breaking desktop design. */
.ExternalClass {
width: 100%;
}


It actually goes on for page after page.

I get quotes right enough in readable English but there is no way I can sign up for any of them.

Looks as though I will have to go Cromwell's route and us a broker.

You are using a mobile to search? If so switch the browser into desktop mode and it will not give you the mobile offering, it will give you the PC offering. Might look crap on the screen but it will stop this.

I prefer to use the PC for this stuff. I've used the singer with the pointy mustache a few times and I've never been forced down the app path.

I don't use apps.

I use my computer and comparison sites for both car and house insurance. I am no longer loyal to one company.

I go for the one which will give me the cover I want at the cheapest price. Would not use an insurance company I had not heard of.
