Not Much on Today’s Radar
Well, so far it’s been a pretty uneventful Monday. On the domestic front, my telephone line’s playing up and, as it affects my umbilical to the Internet microcosm, it’s proving to be a bit of a pain in the backside. No doubt my call to the BT faultline has galvanised a legion of Engineers to lay down their tea mugs and dissapear down some cable warrens - let’s hope so - I hate being ‘unconnected’.
On the work front, a trawl through the likely places reveals that the British economy is taking time to warm up. I find the old one about always giving 100% at work to be actually quite factually accurate.
One thing that did catch my eye is some news from a website called securityfirst.co.uk who say that their new range of age related Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) policies have greatly reduced the cost.
The youngest policyholder at 18 will for example, pay £1.60 per £100 of monthly mortgage payment protection insurance, £1.75 for loan and £1.85 for income cover. Those unable to work due to an accident, sickness or involuntary unemployment will receive a pay out for a maximum of 12 months.
Now this is all very well and I take my hat off to the Company behind the site for being innovative, but the thing I find strange is that this is yet another website launched by British Insurance. You may remember, I once posted about this before and I still find it strange that, albeit with different demographies to target, that a Company would put so much time, money and resource into launching so many websites.
