    House flooded, contents destroyed, no power for 48 hours

    Apologies. Yes, it was the comment by Pogue Mahone that suggested that you get a caravan. That is not the norm. I said it was rubbish because in my experience of handling claims from a brokers perspective, you always seek to get people into a short term let. A caravan would be way down the...

    House flooded, contents destroyed, no power for 48 hours

    Your phraseology suggested that was what you were entitled to and that it was the norm.

    As I said, it depends on availability. Would also depend on whether people actually have taken out insurance and what the limits under the policy are, normally a percentage of the buildings and/or contents sum insured.

    There are schemes. However, if you chose to live in a flood risk area then you are, to all intents and purposes, taking on some of that risk. One of the women complaining to the PM was upset that her £5,000 wooden was ruined and it had only been installed 8 months previously! If you can...

    One assumes they all have insurance.

    House flooded, contents destroyed, no power for 48 hours

    What made me laugh was a report that a passenger who had been delayed at Gatwick was complaining they were being treated like they were from the third world! Get a life. You were inconvenienced by some serious weather problems, albeit only serious for this country. Google boxing day tsunami...
