L43-1: Fully insured

Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything. Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world.

If, however,

you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible to insure yourself in the event of bad weather.

Needless to say,

the bigger the risk an insurance company takes,

the higher the premium you will have to pay.

It is not uncommon to hear that a shipping company has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship.

But the claim made by a local authority to recover the cost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique.

Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish,

for it was 18 feet long and six feet wide.

It had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair.

The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip.
