To say that my family will starve in the gutter

Before I buy bloody funeral insurance from that prat who grows too many parsnips!

I don't care how much it costs to bury/burn me, I'm not giving any money to any insurance company (can't even remember it's name) that is responsible for such shit.

Possibly I watch too much daytime TV.

Huh?

In the words of Manuel,

You've clearly not seen the TV ad (which is on constantly).

No need for anyone to starve.

You could free up some money from your home with the Sun Life Equity Release plan.

Funeral cover is important.

SummerInTheVillage · 11/07/2019 17:29

I think he and June are getting it in and the parsnips are just a ruse.

Grumpbum123 · 11/07/2019 17:31

God I remember seeing this advert as an inpatient in a psych unit and thinking what a good idea 😳

LordNibbler · 11/07/2019 17:33

He's way too keen to give June his parsnip if you ask me.

Omzlas · 11/07/2019 17:33

So don't. Put some money aside, after you've looked into how much a funeral / burial / cremation costs.

And find something else to do in the daytime, you have too much time on your hands

Howlovely · 11/07/2019 17:33

June's definitely not to be trusted. She's a right femme fatale. They're just waiting for his wife to die so they can run off into the sunset with the insurance money and enjoy parsnips three ways.

Howlovely · 11/07/2019 17:34

Omzlas, maybe you could save up for a sense of humour?

LordNibbler · 11/07/2019 17:38

I think Omslas might not be getting any parsnip.

Amibeingdaft81 · 11/07/2019 17:39

You've clearly not seen the TV ad (which is on constantly).

During the day presumably?

gamerchick · 11/07/2019 17:42

They're a rip off anyway, they only payout a grand or something. Are there actually any who would cover the cost of a funeral?

Probably better to have a plan direct with a funeral place and even then they don't tell you about any extras they add on when the time comes.

Troels · 11/07/2019 17:44

June is after him, you can tell. Even the grown kid answering say's "it's June Dad" In a way that says, I wish she'd bloody go home.

LordScamperdale · 11/07/2019 17:44

If I were parsnip guy's DW I would be posting on MN about his keen, and frequent, meetings with June!

I bet June goes like the clappers! 😂😂

GetOffTheTableMabel · 11/07/2019 17:49

There’s a prat who’s grow too many parsnips?
And instead of flogging parsnips, he’s trying to shift funeral insurance?
I don’t know what to do with this information.....
I would definitely rather buy some parsnips than any funeral insurance

MaybeitsMaybelline · 11/07/2019 17:50

Who even watches adverts these days? I watch nothing unless I can fast forward through that crap.

MIdgebabe · 11/07/2019 17:50

DIRect cremation ~1.7k
Donation of body to medical school ...free if they will have you
SAve £4 a week for 10 years if you want

MrsLinManuelMiranda · 11/07/2019 17:50

They are making bloody parsnip jam now that Parky has buggered off with his free pen!

speakout · 11/07/2019 17:51

Funeral cover is important.

Not always.

BMW6 · 11/07/2019 17:51

Donate your body to medical research. They'll cremate you when they've finished, costs nothing at all

June charges by the half-hour (in parsnips)

Floralnomad · 11/07/2019 17:53

It’s not just June though , he’s got another woman at the garden centre who has just come from a lovely funeral that was paid for out of the dead woman’s over 50s plan .

LadyBumclock · 11/07/2019 17:57

Look at this one! June has hot over-50 competition.
