I hadn't actually had the email confirmation of the insurance change, but they'd refunded me my pound so I guess the transaction had gone through.

The world continues to go to hell in a handbasket, but on the upside there's a new way to annoy people in pubs, and it's even got a cool name.

MMR should of course not be confused with MRR.
