to not understand the appeal of meerkats?

[cocoachannel]

The ones with a Russian accent that is.

Do people really chose to compare insurance prices on a particular website just to get a stuffed one?

Yes. Friends did, and used them for credit cards etc.

They find my ds2 hilarious because of his name

You, woman, are not fit for purpose. Meerkat's with Russian accents are perfectly hilarious and cute, as well as brilliant and also, very cute.

(I bought insurance through a chap who sings a VERY annoying song - not because he sang a crap song or because he wasn't a Meerkat but because the deal was better)

I am stupid - why would meerkats have Russian accents?

C'mon, it's simples

They have Russian accents because they are from Russia obviously :)

I bought my Dad the book 'written' by Aleksander the meerkat for Christmas, then read half of it on boxing day, it explains all!

Ds2 got a cuddly one from the tv for Christmas, he had added it to his collection of 'fakes' a friend of my mums got it for him, he now has 18 stuffed/toy ones!

cos they are Russian meerkats obviously I do like old sergi he is funny . I havnt got a meerkat though

I like the ones at our local children's zoo but they have sarf London accents, so not nearly as exotic as the Russian ones.

They are so cute. My dh got a good deal from compare the market and is awaiting his stuffed Meerkat from Meercovia

My dad bought his car insurance through this website when they were doing the stuffed toy gift/offer. Two years later & he is still waiting.

The website is a scam artist.

We were given loads of festive meerkat Christmas cards this year (courtesy of the DCs classmates). Why?

I'm just waiting for my third one. So far I have Alexander and Bogden, this time I'm getting Sergei. According to my last email, Postkat has had an accident in Amsterdam, so it will take him a little while.

I try all the comparison sites and Compare the Market was cheaper. The meerkat is just an added bonus.

YABU

I haven't gone as far as using the website purely because of the meerkat toy, but I do enjoy the adverts more than the program I'm watching sometimes. They're cute and funny.

That what dh said whathasthecatdonenow.

The stupid Meerkats refused to believe that I haven't got mains gas.

Their web site would not let me compare electricity only deals.

Comparing oil is easy you make 3 or 4 phone calls and then tell the nice local supplier to price match. No furry creatures required just a very big hole in the budget.

I've got two meerkats. Compare the market was cheaper for me both times-I love the meerkats but wouldn't pay MORE on my insurance to get one
