Trick for cheaper car insurance.

[JohnF]

The occupation you list must reasonably and accurately describe what you do for a living.

That's the bottom line - you misdescribe your occupation, you run the danger of having any claims rejected and your policy voided.  This will also make it difficult to obtain insurance from an alternative provider, insurance companies don't like folks who tell lies, and any policy you do obtain is likely to be a lot more expensive than the few quid you saved.

Late to this one but your daughter needs to be careful Jacqui. I don't think she would be classed as a civil servant - sorry.

What is the civil service?
If you want a formal definition, the civil service is a permanent bureaucracy of Crown employees (accountable to the reigning monarch), that supports the UK government.
Often working in the public sector, an employee of the civil service is basically employed by the government to impartially implement their policies and laws. As a result, civil service employees often work in areas that highly affect people’s everyday life (e.g. health and education).
Ministers are assisted by a 560,000-strong army of civil servants working in 24 ministerial departments and executive agencies. There are also non-ministerial departments who have a range of further responsibilities too.
As civil servants are employed by the Crown they can be easily transferred between departments without losing their employment rights. This allows a free flow of staff between departments, and comes in useful when there are major upheavals and reorganisations – such as a change of government. So it’s common for large numbers of civil servants to find themselves working for an entirely different department at only a few hours’ notice.
However, being a public servant does not necessarily make you a civil servant. Public bodies including local authorities, the NHS and the armed services are not included in the civil service.

I used to have to pay more for working in a betting office, as they reckon undesirables hang around outside!
