I remember ringing Carole once a year during the eighties to insure my fleet of Ajays and Matchlesses. She had converted her front room into an office in the days when working from home wasn't even a concept. It was about fifty quid for the lot, fully comp with breakdown as I recall.
It started off as a group owners club ins. scheme, but after not too long you didn't actually speak to Cariole herself, but an employee. The business grew and grew. The last I heard of Cariole was from a friend who said "She doesn't drive herself around these days".
I think she sold the company a fair while ago and probably doesn't still have the same front room? But perhaps a mile long driveway through her grounds?
Shame the company that bears her name is now one of the greediest, awkward and impersonal out there!
