An Unexpected Windfall!

This morning I received a letter from the travel insurance company telling me that, because of all the restrictions in the last couple of years, I would get a refund of £140.00. This is to compensate me for the holidays I couldn't have!!

They haven't taken into account the fact that we put in a claim for one holiday (paid in full, but cancelled) where the refund was more than the year's premium! :-D :-D

Has anyone else had this experience? Not all insurance companies are on the make, it seems. :-)

I think I have heard of it but can't remember who from. But what good news for a change.
