    About the only thing they can do at the moment is choose where the insurance company are going to put them up while the loss adjusters get to work. I would suggest a nice villa in Portugal would suffice. Probably be cheaper for the insurers as well.

      With access to a nice golf course?

        That would be pure coincidence of course, but a nice bonus nonetheless.

          Unfortunately , women set a lot of store in 'being there for them', so logic and common sense have no place here.
          I also predict a divorce or possibly some golf clubs with a head-shaped dint in them.

            Hi there,

            not bad thanks. We have almost reached an agreement of partial work from home so that I can commute from the italian part 2-3 days a week. Mrs likes CH. If you are a hypochondriac the hospital system here welcomes you with open arms. It almost had become part of the daily shopping routine for her. Check this jacket, that skirt and actually let me stop over to the doctor and see what they think of this... at all at quite reasonable prices with the insurance systems. In London they would have beaten you up with a stestoscope unless they believed that your life was so in danger that you had to call a doctor.
            I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

              His wife is with her sons. The house is and probably will remain sealed off.

              Why ruin a holiday just to sit around wondering what you are going to do.

              I mean is there anything that you can really do?

                Sounds like everybody's happy then! I'm pleased to hear it. No hankerings for the good life in SW19? So would she be actually pleased if they found something wrong with her? My mate's mother was like that. Pestering the doctor every week for years with imagined complaints and then was delighted when they told her she had (treatable) cancer.

                  Isn't that a head with a golfclub shaped dint in it?

                  Marvellous attitude the guy shows though...

                    Just out of interest, check out the 'don't miss' section down the right hand side of that webpage.
