BBC Radio 4 contacted me today from the You and Yours Program. They need me to help them with their research........
The story:
It’s about the high car insurance premiums quoted to people in particular jobs.
We want to hear from people who suffer such high domestic car insurance premiums because of their job title.
Confused.com sent some figures that show the average premium for window cleaners averages around £1,123.56
We’re trying to find some cleaners that may have had a raw deal.
Please contact me in my inbox TODAY, BBC deadline is tomorrow... you might find yourself on the Radio

 BBC have been in touch again: so they are looking for one window cleaner who is a good talker ( as you will be on the Radio Show) and looking for just domestic and car insurance, so do you feel you have had a raw deal because your job title is a window cleaner? Have you paid more because of that and want to moan it out on the radio or say your bit about how you think you were treated ?

Do we really need more moaning on the radio, Lee?
Try and have something positive to say about something.

Yeah so far the feed back is that window cleaners are not getting charged high prices because their job.....  I wonder what questions the BBC asked when Go Compared sent the average insurance cost for a window cleaner in a private residential car insurance

[Lee Burbidge]

might have to ping them an email....

I do.
By all means talk about high insurance but I was just saying have something positive too.

[Dave Willis]

I'm only going on if I can talk about high income.

I guess that would be up to the program makers, I'm not sure how they are going to pan it out to be honest. Chances are tho if they are looking for ppl who have had a raw deal - I can only assume it is as I mentioned

[Lee Burbidge]

Just to say we have put a window cleaner forward for the Radio show.... thanks for checking out the thread here, this has now been sorted

Maybe the high insurance premiums are the tradders who use their domestic day to day vehicle as their work vehicle

Doubt it.

[Dave Willis]

Cleaners working from sports cars probably.
