Carole nash Heroes / be an unpaid courier for a day

[Marmalade]

Carole Nash want people to give up a day to be a biker hero, essentially, doing courier jobs for free.

I can't see that people will be insured when on their policy it'll likely say 'excludes use as a courier'

If you are delivering stuff on a bike, you are a courier, I don't think 'biker hero' is a classification for a policy.

Two things have pissed me off. First, it's hard enough to get work as it is, then my insurer takes some of it away in their quest for promotion and that I pay about 3x the standard rate for courier insurance on my bikes and they are getting people on standard policies to do work I'm paying through the nose to cover myself for.

I did get this email and wondered the same as you. If I had an accident, insured by Nash, doing one of these deliveries that is directed by them, would they still offer me the same level of cover? Or would they wriggle?

I doubt they can really class that as 'business' use

Especially as they are pushing it.

It's more of a pleasure thing I'd say if your willing to 'help out'

Personally I'd say there's more to worry about in life and take the risk. Then again I might not even participate anyway, would depend if sunny or not

If you aren't getting paid for it, can they exclude it under the insurance?
I'd guess that it's probably deemed as a 'social' use...
But I would check first

That's not a bad idea... I'm stuck for staff over the Easter period- anybody wanna be a "Refuse Hero" and load a Dustcart's off the streets for around ten hours a day?

For free? You could be "Bin Man!"

Missed the post with my nephew's first birthday present? No problem i'll just go call in on my sister it's only half a tank of petrol away.

My little girl is at her nanna's (i.e. my thankfukly not mother in law) and has forgotten her teddies and it is the end of the world, and nobody is getting any sleep until they arrive. They're getting delivered unless i've had a beer.

Best friend's wife (who i can't stand) has assignment due and broke the printer. The only question really is whether i have a spare to strap to the back of a bike.

My partner's colleague has run out of petrol. Yep that's me with a fuel can.

That's just what I do because i have transport and keep odd and flexible hours. Would i give up a day to do random fetch quests to promote an insurance company? Nope. Theres a difference here. Willing acts of unexpectedly nice are generally repaid in ways that make my world better. My mother thinks bikes are the best thing i ever did, partners mother wont pick a fight with me, best friend's wife doesnt complain too much when i show up with a technical drawing and something really big gets built.

The second this were to become an exercise in getting things to people outside of my sphere of influence who need it in a hurry, that's when money changes hands. And there are people out there better suited to the task than me. Do a job, get paid for it.

When was the last time anyone thought a my hermes driver was a hero rather than a barely competent oik intent on playing football with your delivery? Thought not.

Anyone participating in the big community efforts for HMtQ's birthday? See, we dont need no council to embezzle money meant for cleaning parks up. We can pick up the needles and dog shit ourselves every day.

Up next: HS2 to be built by workfare labour.
