    Did anyone go to the Chelsea Flower Show this year?

    Do you know who sponsored it?

    Would you say this was a suitable sponsor?

    Its 'a' sponsor, probably in reality a good thing for Saga to sponsor as the 'Grey Brigade' are their bread and butter and alleged to have lots of disposable income and love chelsea and the BBC coverage.

    I always thought 'so what' when Meril Lynch sponsored it, so saga seems more fitting. Not sure who else would make a suitable sponsor to benefit the company and the image of gardening. SAGA meets the former but loses out in the latter. Would be nice to see a more funky sponsor for chelsea but I can't think of anyone.

    Has this sponsorship encouraged you to take out Saga Insurance yourself, or use any other Saga services?

    Definitely NO Melanie...I Think they are vastly over priced like most companies targeting at what they perceive the better of section of society, just my personal view I always search the Internet for car and house insurances.
    A lot of companies are not insurance companies but brokers who take a percentage from the gullible I got caught Once... ;)

    Why , does anyone know ,do many insurance companies not provide cover for N.Ireland. I know we've had our own little problems over here but its no different than anywhere else in the UK nowadays.
