Floods & Droughts

The thought for today must be with all those people who's homes have been flooded over the past few days and some worry for those who are going to get flooded real soon now.

We have to wish them luck with their insurance companies - as no doubt that those wondrous companies will all do their very best to payout the least possible over the longest possible time.

The only people who will benefit at the end of the day will be the publishers Delay, Prevaricate & Deny who's  'Insurance Book Of Tricks - 176th Edition' is bound to sell well. Almost forgot - the loss adjusters will benefit with a lot of overtime - so it is not all doom and gloom.

Alternatively, we can be sure that the companies will do their best to help out these people in their time of need and will do their utmost to ensure that all claims are handled with speed and efficiency.

It would be pleasant to have some good stories about insurance claims going through without a hitch. It does happen, doesn't it?

Is it me - or wasn't it the case that earlier this year there was a drought across a large swathe of the South and the Water Companies were saying that we needed to have more than average rainfall to refill all the reservoirs and aquifers otherwise there would be water shortages in 2013? They got their wish - it appears big time. How a country as wet at the UK can ever be in drought astounds me. Will look into the figures and get some statistics (lies, damned lies and statistics - ed) to see what the facts are.
