A surge in profits at Morrisons on Thursday is set to be overshadowed by a recent weaker sales performance. The chain has seen strong growth in past years but more recently there have been signs it is beginning to feel the heat in a supermarket price war.
As well as high profile initiatives from major rivals Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s, discount chains Aldi, Lidl and Iceland are enjoying flying sales performances because shoppers believe they offer good value.
Morrisons has been appealing to shoppers by giving away money-off vouchers for petrol while its Price Crunch discounting initiatives and new range of ready meals are advertised by former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff.
But strong like-for-like sales growth it the first three quarters of its financial year faded to 0.7% in its most recent update for the six weeks to January 1.
And figures from Kantar Worldpanel showed the Bradford-based company’s market share fell slightly to 12.2% in the 12 weeks to February 19, which covers the key Christmas trading period.

Who else has had problems with Asda Online Car Insurance?
Apr 17, 2011 by Cardinal Folly | Posted in Insurance & Registration
Despite sending my paper and card licences to them in plenty of time, they cancelled my insurance and I am now being charged a £ 75 cancellation fee for the withdrawal of an insurance policy that i didnt actually break.
who-is , I sent them by email, I actually replied to the email from asda Asking for the documents so that I would have the correct email address. Due to the document size, they were sent in two emails five minutes apart. now I have told Asda that I have sent my details to my MP and my Local Trading Standars they are saying they received the first email, but not the second. They are now saying they sent a confirmation of this arrival and two further emails asking for the remaining document. Guess what? I did a mail search of my emails and the last communication with Asda was me sending in my documents.
As if this wasn`t bad enough, they cancelled my car insurance and waited until it had been cancelled 7 days before they decided to tell me that for 7 days I had been breakingthe law. How I wasn`t pulled in by the cops during this period is just luck.
I am pulling no punches here there is a letter going to Asda`s Chief Executive about this bunch of cowboys, but if I ahd been pulled in by
Did you send them with recorded delivery? if not why not as that would prove at arrived on time and they would not be able to charge you.

increase in car insurance due to non fault claim?
Apr 01, 2011 by tto | Posted in Insurance & Registration
In June last year i had a car accident when someone bumped the back of my car,I suffered whiplash injuries along with my husband,this claim is still in progress.In December last year my insurance company said it could no longer insure me this was either to do with the age of my car or me.I then registered with Asda online insurance,they have increased my monthly insurance from £47.51 to 124.80,how on earth can they warrant this increase,I am being penalized by this accident even though i'm not at fault.I cannot afford this increase but if I cancel this I will have to pay £75 and tell other companies I have been refused insurance.Please can some kind person advise me what I can do. Thank You
If your car is over 12 years old, many companies will not insure it, but will insure you for liability only.
Even though not at fault for the accident, both you and your husband sustained injuries, so most likely YOUR insurance company is paying for medical bills/treatment you are receiving due to this accident and will be claiming back to the at fault driver when you settle. So in effect you have filed a claim with YOUR insurance company, but you are not at fault for this accident.
But the above applies for US which you posted and it appears that per using pounds, this is UK and under national health system may work differently.
Your only solution is to get on the phone with your current insurance company and ask to specify exactly why the increase and also talk to some agents that sell insurance for advice on how to possibly purchase cheaper insurance.
The problem in buying online, you have no one to talk to or ask questions.
good luck

There is little you can do. The insurance company has a right to cancel you anytime they want to and they also have the right to raise your premiums based on your past driving activity, whether you were at fault or not. All you can do is to keep shopping around

because your car is to old to insure if you still want to insure it you have to pay a premium

Why is car insurance so expensive?
Apr 28, 2011 by jinx x | Posted in Insurance & Registration
I'm going in for my test in a few weeks and I'm looking to get just a cheap car to get me from a to b but prices are so ridiculous. I got a quote on a 106 3door 1litre engine the cheapest was just under £900 with a company iv never heard of and my dearest was £4600 with asda even though my beautys going to be sleeping in the garage:) why are they such ridiculous prices?
Car insurance is expensive for young people because:
1. young people make more claims;
2. the average cost of claims from young people is higher than from older people;
3. the insurance companies know they can rip you off because you have to insure SOMEWHERE;
4. the motor repair industry is as corrupt as the insurers and bumps up repair costs;
5. too many people lie about personal injuries and claim compensation;
6. if the insurance companies can't rip you off, they don't care about losing your business.
I agree, it is becoming impossible for young people to get on the road legally which must tempt some to take to the road without insurance, which has to be worse for everybody.

How old are you?
Do you live in a safe area?
Try to call an agent and work with the prices. You can get them down, its a free market.

Risk. You said it yourself. You're a new driver, with no record yet. Risk.

The value of the car is irrelavent to some extent. You could hit a £20000 car with the Matiz and write it off and then your insurers will be paying out £23000 plus.
Some of this will be impossible but the fact is they will reduce the premiums a lot -
- move out of London to a postcode that is known to be low for car crime
- park the car off road at your own home and in a garage is even better
- get a job, unemployed is one of the high risk categories of people
Although perhaps morally it should, your past driving record counts for nothing. You should not buy a car until you pass - it could take a few goes despite your experience. Once passed insurers will treat you the same as any UK person who has never had a full licence before.

Car insurance isn't expensive once you've convinced the insurance industry that you're a good risk. I insure my V8 Jag for about £500 fully comp because I'm an old fart with a no claims bonus that goes back to when you were still crawling on the carpet, dribbling.
The reason it's so expensive for teenagers is that they keep crashing because far too many of them think that just because they've passed a simple 40 minute test that they're somewhere between Seb Loeb and Lewis Hamilton when it comes to driving skill.
Not much you can do but pay up for a couple of years and keep your nose clean.

Just a comment on Zyz 's answer. The motor repair industry is not corrupt. An insurance repair job requires the use of new parts, also even a smallish accident can require at least a partial re-spray.
Just as an example to show how repair costs are high, My wife has a 7 year old estate and the tailgate got a nasty creased dent in it and the whole thing was slightly distorted. My son bought a replacement after an afternoon's search through ebay etc for £60 from a vehicle of same model, same year and same colour. We picked it up and it came complete just as unbolted from the car - ie with glass, lights, high level stop light, interior trim etc. All we had to do was bot it on and change the lock over, job done. For an insurance repair the repair shop would have had to buy a NEW tail gate at 400 quid, then either a new window or remove old one and fit that, spray it to correct colour . insert wiring, fit new seal etc. So a repair the insurers way would have cost not far short of a grand.
That sort of thing is why insurance is so expensive, repairing a car IS expensive and remember, while you might be driving a 1 grand Corsa you might slam into the side of a 40 grand BMW and your insurer would have to foot the bill.

There are a few main reasons and some smaller ones -
1. The biggest killer of teenage girls in the UK is their boyfriends driving FACT not just a funny
2. One in four under 24s have a motor insurance claim in the first year of driving
3. One in 3 accidents involves a driver under 25
4. The compensation culture, no win no fee, has increased payments to claimants a lot recently
5. Uninsured drivers - adds around £30 to £50 to everyones policy
I will be 50 soon and if I had not got a full NCB my car insurance would be well over £1000 a year for an 1800 turbo saloon

Car accidents are going up.Spare part prices are going up.Car theft is increasing.Obviously comprehensive insurance rates have to go up.

Insurance is based on risk, and you being I'm assuming a new young driver is the highest risk of all.
WelshLad | Apr 29, 2011
A. Your age
B. your lack of experience
C. the amount of uninsured people on the road causing accidents
d. the amount of fucking idiots claiming whiplash and the like causing more expensive claims.

(UK)I haven't received my car Insurance certificate?
Sep 17, 2010 by XxHatefulxX | Posted in Insurance & Registration
(UK Please)
I applied online through asda and gave my address and everything and was successful. am paying annually and also paid the one off.
Why i haven't received my car insurance certificate it starts on the 20 sept 2010. Does it come by post?
yes it should come by post as it will have your certificate of insurance amongst it, I would give them another call to chase it up although if you have paid then you should be covered and on the national database so if the police do a check then it shows you are insured.

Where can i get day insurance as a new driver?!?!?
Mar 07, 2011 by Ann | Posted in Insurance & Registration
Hi all , im getting quite frustrated at the moment so im going to use this space to rant. I passed my driving test on Feb 8th and have been looking at cars for my first purchase. I am 24yo and found the perfect car however i need to insure it for the day so i can actually get it back to my house. I have looked at many sites and they all want me to have had my license for at least 12 months. I can understand the government is trying to get young people off of the road but seriously 12 months?!?! What was the point of learning just to not drive for a year and need practice lessons again by the time i actually get to drive!
I do not require full insurance yet because i wont be using the car everyday , however i do need it urgently for the days i will be using it.
I think it is ridiculous that after passing your test they wantyou to wait 12 months before buying your car or fork out a ridiculous amount for a years insurance. ASDA wanted £18,000 for ONE year!!!! The cars only worth £2,300!
Anyway sorry but i had to get that off my chest, any help on day insurance sites for under 25s would be great! thank you!! :D
Day insurance as in 24 hours insurance
