You dont buy travel insurance, May i ask why not?

I'm incredibly careful, incredibly lucky, and I've/we've paid billions of pounds into the EU, so I expect the EHIC to cover any medical expenses while in Europe. If it doesn't and I have to stump up the bill, I can ASSURE you I will get the money back off Heir Cameron and Frau Osborne.

Granted you can get decent cover for about £25, but it's also a matter of principle for me.

Yes I dont mean to be morbid but you can be as careful as you like, but what would you do if you killed someone? Id like to think you ski with a triangle stuck to your back to warn others..

haha... I like the triangle idea! I see what you're saying, but really what are the chances of me killing someone?! Yes the chance is always there, but it's highly, highly unlikely, and not worth £25, or 4 or 5 pints, in my opinion.

It's like motor insurance. I've forked out thousands of pounds over the 13 years I've been driving, and never had to make a claim... what a waste of money!
