L43-1: Fullyinsured

Insurancecompanies are normally willing to insure anything. Insuring public or private propertyis a standard practice in most countries in the world. If, however, you wereholding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible toinsure yourself in the event of bad weather. Needless to say, the bigger therisk 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 cost ofsalvaging a sunken ship. But the claim made by a local authority to recover thecost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique. Admittedly it was anunusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide. It had beenpurchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for anannual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dishwould be by canal, so they insured it for the trip.
