Competition
Win a
Case of California Wine
and a Roberts Radio
.jpg)
We’ve teamed up with
California Wines and Roberts Radio to give one
lucky reader the chance to win a case of California wine
and a chic radio, sure to suit the style of anyone’s
kitchen while they cook up some delicious delicacies.
From the bustling streets
of Los Angeles to the luscious vineyards the length and
breadth of the state, the diversity of California is reflected in
the wines produced there. Whether you’re after the lightest,
freshest
Chardonnay or the deepest, plummiest Merlot, just think California and
you won’t be disappointed.
Bonterra Vineyards produce
a range of mouth-watering wines from sun-soaked
California, and are founded on the philosophy that
farming organically produces the purest, most flavourful
fruit. As a result, since 1987 they have been using an holistic
approach, balancing the land and the surrounding habitat
of wasps, birds and wildlife to produce wines of
unmatched flavour and distinction.
The lucky winner will receive a case of fine Bonterra
Chardonnay. With the taste of oak and notes of apple,
pear and citrus, it is the perfect wine to complement
your summer days, and is available at Waitrose, Majestic
and other selected retailers.

Roberts Radio has a
heritage of over 75 years, creating stylish portable
radios with a range of over 100 different DAB, analogue,
World Radios, Cassettes and Internet Radios.
The winner
will receive a Unologic radio; a lightweight and
portable DAB radio, perfect for you to enjoy some music
with your delicious California wine while out and about
at family picnics, or relaxing in the garden.

Broadband Genie

Let the Genie Help you Find the Best Broadband Deal
Broadband can be a major household expenditure,
but it's a competitive market and so there are almost bound to
be deals which are cheaper or more suited to your needs,
particularly if you've been with the same provider for several
years. Broadband Genie has included a few handy tips below to
help you on your way when comparing broadband for the first
time.
·
Remember to bundle and save. Most broadband
providers now offer bundled packages where you can get
telephone, TV and even mobile phone on the same bill, often with
significant discounts.
·
Look for free gifts! It's a competitive market
out there, and so you can get your hands on some nice incentives
if you look around. Wireless routers are now free with most
broadband packages, while free laptops and even PS3s are
available with other broadband contracts.
·
Make sure you shop around. Use broadband
comparison websites such as Broadband Genie to see all the
various deals, and to find the cheapest broadband providers to
suit your needs.
·
Have you considered mobile broadband? There are
lots money saving pay
as you go mobile broadband
and
free laptops
offers to be found which may provide an
alternative to fixed-line broadband.

World First Extends Age Limits on Travel Insurance
World First (www.world-first.co.uk) has decided to do
raise its upper limit from 79 to 100. Alongside the
availability of insurance for people over 79, World
First (which specialises in delivering affordable cover
for travellers with pre-existing medical conditions) has
also increased the range and severity of medical
conditions it covers; conditions often found in older
generations.
World First’s travel insurance policies, as the chart
below shows (based on Help the Aged’s own research
amongst 25 insurers) will be highly competitive and
affordable:

All
quotes based on a one week holiday in Spain (no

Quote |
| Aged 60-65 |
£11 - £72 |
£14.00 |
| Aged 80+ |

£47.00 |
The cover for older people with medical conditions and
longstanding health problems has long been recognised
for its excellence and value for money (often hundreds,
sometimes thousands, of pounds cheaper than the nearest
competitive quote), and by extending our age limit we
hope to once again lead the way.

Save Money: Shop Online Using
Price Comparison Site
Whether you are looking to buy car insurance,
cheap broadband,
a mobile phone, or even a new dishwasher; finding the one you
want amidst the hundreds (sometimes thousands) of products that
are available can be a headache, and an experience which often
deters people from shopping altogether.
But in recent years a new way of shopping for
even the most basic of items has arisen and, if current
popularity is anything to go by, looks like it will be here to
stay.
A few years ago, there was no such thing as the
price comparison website (or ‘shopbot’ as they are sometimes
affectionately referred to), but with the recent economic
downturn, and the average person’s social and working life now
more hectic than ever, more and more people are not only turning
to shopping online, but also cutting costs, and saving time and
energy by using price comparison sites, which take the hard work
out of an otherwise laborious task.
Top 10 Broadband is the UK’s largest broadband
comparison site, and a good example of how to provide the best
deals, along with an easy to use website, that is jam-packed
full of useful information on it’s specialty, broadband.
If you are new to comparison sites, head over to
Top 10 Broadband
You can then search on Google for the product you are looking
for (for example: ‘mobile phone price comparison site’), to find
a price comparison site that will find the best deal for the
product you wish to purchase.
