    Splitting hairs again???

    They do offer and sell insurance. I bought mine from the PCG, no one else; PCG invoice me, I paid them for it and they provided it.

    So you won't answer the questions that I asked earlier?

    So, either I'm wrong and you aren't a member of the CC, the CC didn't make any decisions about this, or the CC did and you didn't take part in that discussion?

    Business Interruption Claim Form:

    "Where the value of claims exceeds the aggregate limit in any period of insurance,"

    "In order to clarify the above, the policy aggregate limit of £500,000 covers all claims made in any one period of insurance"

    So, that's not insurance?

    Give it another year or so, and then they can change the name. That way no-one can say "you've done nothing for a year" without absolutely being proved wrong.

    Not so much a case of standing on the shoulders of giants, much more like kicking them in the goolies and running away.

    I pointed out last night that the global search and replace of PCG to IPSE has resulted in numerous grammatical errors throughout the site as well, eg. "Alan has been a IPSE member since the early days..."

    One might also question whether when you say "Alan has been a IPSE member since the early days..." does that mean since the early days of the PCG or since yesterday?
    Oh dear. First you do a global search and replace of "a PCG" with "an IPSE", being sure to preserve capitalisation of "A" and then you do a global search and replace of "PCG" with "IPSE". Of coursem, they could now change "a IPSE" to "an IPSE".

    https://www.pcg.org.uk/article-tags/pcg-membership

    which takes me to an ipse 404

    I assume all your other non-homepage search results do the same.

    Edit: Some of the links do redirect properly.

    e.g. https://www.pcg.org.uk/join

    Looks like your article-tags ones are failing
