L43-1:
Fully insured
/ˈfʊli/ /ɪnˈʃʊəd/
Insurance companies are normally willing to insure
/ɪnˈʃʊərəns/ /ˈkʌmpəniz/ /ɑː/ /ˈnɔːməli/ /ˈwɪlɪŋ/ /tuː/ /ɪnˈʃʊə/
anything. Insuring public or private property is a standard
/ˈɛnɪθɪŋ./ /ɪnˈʃʊərɪŋ/ /ˈpʌblɪk/ /ɔː/ /ˈpraɪvɪt/ /ˈprɒpəti/ /ɪz/ /ə/ /ˈstændəd/
practice in most countries in the world. If, however, you were
/ˈpræktɪs/ /ɪn/ /məʊst/ /ˈkʌntriz/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /wɜːld./ /ɪf,/ /haʊˈɛvə,/ /juː/ /wɜː/
holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be
/ˈhəʊldɪŋ/ /ən/ /ˈəʊpən/ /eə/ /ˈgɑːdn/ /ˈpɑːti/ /ɔːr/ /ə//feɪt/ /ɪt/ /wʊd/ /biː/
equally possible to insure yourself in the event of bad
/ˈiːkwəli/ /ˈpɒsəbl/ /tuː/ /ɪnˈʃʊə/ /jɔːˈsɛlf/ /ɪn/ /ði/ /ɪˈvɛnt/ /ɒv/ /bæd/
weather. Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance
/ˈwɛðə./ /ˈniːdlɪs/ /tuː/ /seɪ,/ /ðə/ /ˈbɪgə/ /ðə/ /rɪsk/ /ən/ /ɪnˈʃʊərəns/
company takes, the higher the premium you will have to
/ˈkʌmpəni/ /teɪks,/ /ðə/ /ˈhaɪə/ /ðə/ /ˈpriːmiəm/ /juː/ /wɪl/ /hæv/ /tuː/
pay. It is not uncommon to hear that a shipping company
/peɪ./ /ɪt/ /ɪz/ /nɒt/ /ʌnˈkɒmən/ /tuː/ /hɪə/ /ðæt/ /ə/ /ˈʃɪpɪŋ/ /ˈkʌmpəni/
has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship. But
/hæz/ /meɪd/ /ə/ /kleɪm/ /fɔː/ /ðə/ /kɒst/ /ɒv/ /ˈsælvɪʤɪŋ/ /ə/ /ˈsʌŋkən/ /ʃɪp./ /bʌt/
the claim made by a local authority to recover the cost of
/ðə/ /kleɪm/ /meɪd/ /baɪ/ /ə/ /ˈləʊkəl/ /ɔːˈθɒrɪti/ /tuː/ /rɪˈkʌvə/ /ðə/ /kɒst/ /ɒv/
salvaging a sunkenpie dishmust surely be unique.
/ˈsælvɪʤɪŋ/ /ə/ /ˈsʌŋkən/ /paɪ/ /dɪʃ/ /mʌst/ /ˈʃʊəli/ /biː/ /juːˈniːk./
Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish, for it was 18 feet long
/ədˈmɪtɪdli/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /ən/ /ʌnˈjuːʒʊəl/ /paɪ/ /dɪʃ,/ /fɔːr/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /18/ /fiːt/ /lɒŋ/
and six feet wide. It had been purchased by a local authority
/ænd/ /sɪks/ /fiːt/ /waɪd./ /ɪt/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /ˈpɜːʧəst/ /baɪ/ /ə/ /ˈləʊkəl/ /ɔːˈθɒrɪti/
so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair.
/səʊ/ /ðæt/ /ən/ /ɪˈnɔːməs/ /paɪ/ /kʊd/ /biː/ /beɪkt/ /fɔːr/ /ən/ /ˈænjʊəl/ /feə./
The pie committee decided that the best way to transport
/ðə/ /paɪ/ /kəˈmɪti/ /dɪˈsaɪdɪd/ /ðæt/ /ðə/ /bɛst/ /weɪ/ /tuː/ /ˈtrænspɔːt/
the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip.
/ðə/ /dɪʃ/ /wʊd/ /biː/ /baɪ/ /kəˈnæl,/ /səʊ/ /ðeɪ/ /ɪnˈʃʊəd/ /ɪt/ /fɔː/ /ðə/ /trɪp./
