Hi all

Living on the outskirts of Hull, I obviously know a few people affected by
the June floods.
Many of these are in limbo so-to-speak living between caravans, the first
floor of their home or local hotels.
So obviously insurance companies will be picking up the tab for this lot.

Talking to one of my colleagues who is currently in this situation he tells
me that the contractor doing rewiring works has stated that he must rewire
the whole house because otherwise there will be a mixture of cable
specifications/colours which is not permitted!!!!

I wonder how many more similar claims are being made to significantly
increase the scope of work done and inflate everyone's insurance policies in
the process.
