Happy Home Insurance

As anyone who's read my blog will know, I love home insurance, buildings insurance and all matters concerned with cheap home insurance policies.
They've made me the man I am today bringing, as they do, in equal measure, fascination, laughter, tears and excitement. If only...

Perhaps not, but due to a long sunny weekend and the prospect of yet more holidays spent at home contemplating my home contents and possessions while watching the Royal Wedding, I am in a very good mood.

And so I considered, what humour is there to be found from Home and Buildings Insurance cover? The answer it seems is, not a lot. Insurance in general, however, has a rich comic history in the UK largely thanks to a Mr J Carrott of Birmingham who first introduced the domestic audience to the hilarity of insurance claim forms. Unfortunately though, a quick review of the best ones reveals that, they all focus on the wrong kind of insurance ­ not a home insurance claim to be seen. Still, that's no excuse to deny you some Claim Form Classics.

And I quote:

"The accident happened because I had one eye on the lorry in front, one eye on the pedestrian and the other on the car behind."

"The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again"

"Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have."

"The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him."

"I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident."

And here's one that's about home insurance - sort of:

"A house hit my car." (A house was being moved by a large truck. My friend had his car parked on the side of the road correctly. The house began to tilt off the truck and eventually fell off.)

Many thanks for those to all concerned ­ still funny after all these years.
