I have been through the house insurance carry on recently and have gone with the broker who is also the same company as my financial adviser. Other quotations were much lower but thought there must be some catch. Would have to start looking into it weeks in advance to be able to compare like with like. One company was asking stupid questions like 'do your external door locks open from both sides ?' !!!
Yep, if I'm at all dubious or buying something over £100 I always spend someone else's money (credit card) once I'm happy I move over my funds from debit.

It's not the stupidest question (if they were going to give you a discount for every non external facing lock), some locks don't have a key at the other side (think they call them passage locks) which means it's harder to lockpick or snap them. Obviously that wouldn't be all doors though
