Sh*t happens, but I would have bet a months salary that it would not

So sorry to hear this, Baz. *It sounds terrifying to me. *I can't
imagine how you're coping. *I do hope your insurance company and
council are cooperating, but somehow I doubt it. *I just hope you can
stay emotionally afloat.

I wouldn't try that betting thing, if I were you. *I only bet on
certainties .. and there aren't many of those around :~/.

As it happens my insurance company is being very good about it all. Again.
I think it is sure that our policy price will go up.by %, but after all of
this I would expect so will inflation on top.
BTW it is not the council who are liable, it is the water authorities.

I will not ever bet again. Only the Grand National.

Baz

Baz. Commiserations from me too. That is a horrid thing to happen.

If the water authorities are responsible due to their action or
inaction I would hope your insurers will try to recover their costs
from them. *If they can, then you should be able to claim damages for
inconvenience, loss of amenity etc.

Good luck!

In ten years time whats happening today, will be perhaps be 50 times
worse, and I doubt very much any of you will be whining about
insurance, as most of you wont be able to afford it! Global warming is
the single most important thing to be concerned about today, but if
posters on here are anything to go by, those responsible are going to
be able to carry on regardless no problem at all, as the majority of
people dont seem to give a shit about whats going on.

50 times worse in 10 years?

Come back in 10 years and we'll compare notes.
Until then buzz off with your friend Mike and leave us in peace.
