And great company on a dinner date :D Sadly, I always wake up before anything else happens :(

:D Congratulations.

Have you considered the possibilty of actually having the baby in a ski resort? Just think, natural acclimatisation to altitude, natural ability to ski (at least it seems that way on all the local kids I have seen), dual nationality options, plus you get your ski trip :twisted:

Headlight converters
GB signs, unless using Euro number plates.

Should add..
Emergency food in case you get stuck.
Drinking water.
De-icer or good scraper.
Winter strength screen wash (you can get through LOADS on the motorways and may need to top up).

:shock: Only if you are on rental skis I would add to that!

:twisted:

Well, if it has most of what you want, and you would be kicking yourself if you missed it and could not find something suitable as an alternate, then I think you should book it.

If on the other hand you are easy about what you finally take, and will not be too upset if you do end up paying more, then I say wait it out.

For what it's worth, I would wait.

I'm not convinced that it is any more dangerous Tony, but other things have changed.

If by wearing some suitable clothing or equipment, it is possible to reduce the risk of injury to someone, then why should an insurance company not insist on it being worn? Perhaps they could offer a surcharge to those who don't wish to comply. However, I suspect it would be too large to really consider as an option.

Is having a car crash any more dangerous than several years ago? Probably not, with the better designs of cars and the addition of airbags, but we are still required to wear seatbelts.

Good rant Andy, I agree with you wholeheartedly. :thumbup:

What is a shame though, is that more and more frequently, the insurance companies themselves are not offering policies which are suitable for general use. I suspect they are simply hoping people will not read the small print, thus saving themselves large payouts.

Perhaps there should be an industry standard for different types of insurance, where if you picked a "ski" policy you would know that it will cover you for all the obvious things when you go skiing. Extras can always be bolted on for people who need something a bit more tailor made.
