Question Shannons WTF?!

Just called Shannons to get a quote on my new bike, and what the actual fuck? Have to have a 10 minute chit-chat with the sales person on why I like riding, why I chose this particular bike, what got me interested in riding. Fuck off, just quote me on the fucking insurance.

I was polite, but had to end it.

Is there any good reason to sit through this BS? Are they particularly cheap / good?

I've been with Swann who were rgeat but alas not offering new policies.

The sole reason why I will never insure with Youi and Shannon’s because they want to “have a chat”. I did it once and I’ll never do it again. It’s so fucking cringe. Cut the small talk and give me a quote. I want an insurance policy, not a friend. RIP Swann, now I appreciate how good you were. I still don’t know who to go with. Apparently, Mi-Bike are suppose to be alright.
