Bread, Milk and Car Insurance
With increased competition between supermarkets to gain market share and improve profitability, the range of products on offer is getting ever diverse. Now, the big three chains, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda have caught on to the fact that their brand name can sell just about anything, including of all things, car insurance. Car insurance is one of those very boring expensive products that you loathe having to pay for but have no choice if you want to drive a car on Britain's roads. Why therefore would supermarkets want to be associated with such a seemingly expensive pain in the pocket? Well it seems that the public think it's a great idea and are buying it from these stores in their thousands with the belief that it must cheap if the supermarkets are selling it. The strange thing is that the companies behind these deals, who are actually underwriting the risk, are the same companies who have been selling you car insurance for years.
Tesco for example seem to be incredibly successful in selling motor insurance to their customers with statements proclaiming that you could save up to ?150 compared to some leading insurers. Tesco of course is not an insurer. If you look closely at the bottom of the Tesco car insurance webpage, you will notice it says that the policy is provided and underwritten by a company called UK Insurance Limited. Who on earth is this company you may ask. UK Insurance Limited is part of Royal Bank of Scotland who also own Direct Line along with Churchill and Privilege.
Sainsbury's state that you could save up to ?165 on your car insurance compared to other leading insurers - ?15 better than Tesco. Of course, like Tesco, Sainsbury's is not an insurer either. A quick look at their webpage shows that policies are arranged and administered by Esure, who are part of the Halifax Bank of Scotland group. Maybe Sainsbury's are about to swap Jamie Oliver for Michael Winner ? maybe not. Asda state that they give you the "very best possible insurance protection" and offer a 10% discount if you buy online.
Of course, just like Tesco and Sainsbury's, Asda is not an insurer. Asda have opted to team up with Norwich Union to provide their policies. The insurers are desperate to get into bed with the Supermarkets. It enables them to dress up their car insurance product with an already well known and trusted brand name. This is good business and a smart way to gain lots of new customers very quickly.
Ironically though, some of those ?new' customers may already be with that insurer. Without knowing it, they may end up cancelling or not renewing their existing policy but staying with the same insurance company via the cheaper supermarket option. From a customer perspective, the upshot of all this will hopefully be to get cheaper car insurance, which at the end of the day is what everybody wants. Who the insurer is behind the deal is probably not of great concern to people. In the long term, whether the actual underwriting results of these deals are profitable enough for the insurers to continue to offer the supermarkets good rates for their customers, will be interesting.
One thing is for sure, I don't see Direct Line advertising bananas six for a pound anytime soon. Copyright (c) 2004 AcceptDirect.co.ukAccept Direct Car Insurance.
Neck Pillows ? What?s All The Buzz About?
They're invading the homes of consumers everywhere. You see them on the television, hear about them on the radio, read about them in the papers? Stories abound about how they've miraculously healed numerous ailments. So what is the real story behind the increasingly popular neck pillows? In reality, it actually comes down to basic science. In grade-school we learned all about the different parts of the body, including our spines. What we didn't realize back then was how the parts of our bodies affected by the spine would ail us as we grew older.
Millions of people sleep with improper spinal support, resulting in a population that suffers from severe neck, back and shoulder pain. This in turn, causes fatigue, irritability, and even depression. Fortunately, the remedy for this malady is simple ? getting proper spinal support while we sleep.A number of sleep and neck pillows have hit the market over the past years, and their increase in popularity isn't a coincidence. Luckily for...

Laptops Guide: Choosing a Laptop that is Right for You
Most of us tend to think of laptops in the same way: a fairly small portable computer that can open and close like a suitcase, with all of the capabilities of a desktop. In fact, the term "laptop" is really very generic. There are currently four main styles of these portable PCs, each offering something a bit different, depending upon your specific needs.Ultralights ? Also known as sub-notebooks or ultraportables, this style of laptop weighs up to ? but no more than ? four pounds, making them ideal for travelers. The upside of an ultralight is that it doesn't burden those who have to spend a lot of time carrying them with aching muscles, as its larger cousins often do. The downside, however, is that ? in order to cut down on the size and weight ? this type of laptop is so small that there's no room for a network card or internal CD drive.
In order to reap the benefits of these types of "attachments," you'd have to bring an external CD drive and port replicator. Another negative...

Mopeds and Scooters
Focus: as means of leisure travel
Last time you went to a popular football match or ball game in your car did you have to sit in a traffic jam? Did the walk from the car to your seat take for ever? Were you stuck in really bad traffic on the way home? What was your travel time compared with the time spent at the stadium? Did you notice people whizzing past your almost stationary car on mopeds and scooters? Did you notice these same machines parked-up just next to the entrances to the stadium itself?
Mopeds and Scooters are becoming more and more popular in the USA as their availability is now countrywide. The original mopeds and scooters of Europe and indeed the rest of the world are at last available in quantity with quality in the US and many people are taking advantage of this cheap and stylish option not only to get to work and back but for fun as well.

Camping With or Without a Remote Control in the Great Outdoors
Kingman, AZ (ContentDesk) July 20, 2004 --
While on a recent camping trip, I was outside my tent looking up at the brilliant stars in the night sky. The sound of hummingbirds had faded with the last light of the sun and was replaced with crickets cheering wind blown pine needles racing across the dirt to a final resting place. In the past, my evening's entertainment in the wild included a gathering of rabbits, a deer or two, maybe even a coyote howling in the distance, but now I had additional choices of entertainment. I could watch TVs glowing from RV windows. I could listen to a hard rock band blaring from someone's stereo.
Or even try to play name that tune with the rhythm and hum of a generator behind me in spot number seventy-two."Should we be heading towards map icons and directories that separate "developed" properties versus ones that bring you back to nature in a "primitive" way?" asks Jonathan Stocker, of alternative lodging at AllStays.com.
