    Hi guys,

    I am new to contracting and have been contracting for a few months.

    Unfortunately had a recent accident. And after checking my insurance policy I realised that my insurance is not for business or commuting purposes. It is only for social/personal purposes. Did not realise that I will be needing a different type of insurance.
    I was travelling from one city(the address on my insurance policy) to other. My destination city (where my contract is based) I have rented a room near the work place. I have never used the car for daily commute.Instead use the car when commuting from my temporary home to my primary home to see my family. This happens every two weeks or so on a weekend.

    This is a more general question - would my insurance provider refuse my claim If I tell the truth. I would rather come clean. I can argue I do not use my car on a daily basis for work commute.
    You've been a member of this forum since 2013 and you posted the above? After nearly 6 years?

    Something doesn't ring true.

            ...
            ACCEPTANCE OF OUTSIDE APPOINTMENTS
            Civil servants are required to obtain the agreement of the Government before
            accepting any offer of employment outside the Civil Service, which would start within
            2 years of leaving Crown employment. This applies if:

            you are a member of the Senior Civil Service; or
            your official duties in the 2 years before leaving Crown service (or earlier if the
            association has been of a continued or repeated nature) resulted in personal
            involvement with the company or other organisation making the offer; or access to
            commercially sensitive information of its competitors.
            ...

            normally would a short term IT/software development work fall into this.
            This looks like a hefty price for a short time work in the civil service. Also what is the procedure of 'obtaining the agreement of the Government'.
            And then disappear for the best part of 6 years? Iffy to say the least.

              Hmm - I do not think they have fully grasped what 'glory holes' are used for...

              as far as I am aware it is not to look through....

                Pretty sure Fiona knew, she gave a knowing smile!

                    Ouch. Hint taken. I'll go spend some more time on the immigration forum instead.
