Taking advertisers at their word



I quote in its entirety a letter to The Times of 19 Jan 2005 [via the Plain English Campaign's weekly newsletter]:




Sir, I have received an insurance company leaflet which suggests that I could save over �200 on my car insurance. The small print then explains:

All price saving comparisons included in this leaflet are based on a 44 year old female living in the Darlington area, with Comprehensive cover but zero No Claims Discount, driving 12999 miles per year in a 2002 Rover 25 1.4.



If she would like to get in touch with me I will pass the leaflet on to her.



Yours sincerely,

DAVID MOSSMAN,

24 Harestone Hill,

Caterham, Surrey CR3 6SX.

January 14.
