  My mother-in-law turned 70 over the weekend just gone; some years back we downsized from 3 cars in the family to 2, which meant putting Shirley (mother-in-law) on my wife's insurance as a named driver.
  
  Granted, we have just changed cars so that my wife now has a 12-plate Mitsubishi to replace the 8 year-old Suzuki, but I was horrified to find that the insurance premium for her new car had doubled, especially as it is one of the super efficient low emission engines, replacing the rather racy 'hot hatch' Suzuki. I rang the insurers to ask why the insurance had doubled and they replied that the extra was because my mother-in-law was shortly turning 70.
  
  I couldn't get round it any way at all, all the other companies were in the same price bracket; however, I changed company anyway, just so that I could register my disgust with the old company with whom we had been insured for a number of years (Lloyds TSB). (Expletive deleted) b*stards.
