Nfu vehicle insurance far too high for us moved and saved 000’s
We’ve been with the nfu for years, last year I threatened them that they where to expensive and I was going to get some quotes from other companies. The only trouble was I’d left it a little late to do anything:facepalm:. However they still knocked a decent chunk off the renewal!
This year I have had a couple of quotes, one came back 2k dearer and the other wouldn’t insure me for any engineering or airport work. I just thought the nfu would’ve come out a lot more expensive, but seems not to be the case. Didn’t tell them that though:whistle::cautious::D

What variety do you plant/ recommend need to replace a row in garden that dad planted years ago seem to be grown out. Also have some Autumn Bliss (I think) can you move them and if so when.

Glen fyne in the pots and cascade delight in the ground .cascade much better in the soil have a higher tolerance of soil disease if growing on ground that has had raspberries on before think you might be a bit late to move plants now need doing when they are dormant ( nov/jan)
