Lucy: the whole insurance business is based on a combination of fear and inertia, they scare you into buying it and they hope that inertia will keep you paying the premiums year after year.
So we have been doing something about it, checking car and house and travel insurance. Re-mortgaging our house and moving credit card debt yet again to another zero percent card. Utility bills are next maybe and then there is always ebay. We have saved several hundred each month to spend on holidays. Make some calls and fill in some forms and it is quite easy really.
Thus endeth the public service announcement.
