Cheaper car insurance in 2011
So, did you make any New Year resolutions for 2011 – drive slower, drive safer, find cheaper car insurance?
Or maybe they were more mundane – wash your car once a week, plan for the MOT rather than leaving it until the last moment, remove all fast food cartons before they change colour in the footwell?
It is said that around 4,000 years ago the Babylonians were the first people to start doing good deeds at the beginning of the year. It was their tradition to return any borrowed farm equipment to neighbours because their New Year was also the beginning of the farming season.
Apparently, not long after, the Romans would begin their New Years by looking back at the previous year and resolving to accomplish more in the forthcoming year.
In ancient times Chinese people would begin their New Year with a thorough house clean, from top to bottom, as they saw this as the best way to begin a year.
So, it’s easy to see why for many in the modern world, our New Year resolutions are based around self-improvement or the achievement of certain positive goals, but for many of us they are merely a bit of fun which quickly gets forgotten about.
Of course, some goals are more achievable than others:
- losing weight – difficult
- saving money on your car insurance – easy…now you’ve found Hoot that is!
