Because someone at the Council said it must be so ~ it must be so. Doesn't she realise that these idiots making the rules are paid peanuts because they are monkeys.

Gong a bit senile. SHe is currently trying to value the contents of the house for insurance purposes which involves wandering about with scraps of paper.

We have just worked out that the replacement value of our books is around £25000 eeek:

She is currently trying to count them noooo:

Nuts!

Havent you explained to her that there is only one insurance company that is capable of covering Chez Nick as all the others have a Captain Calamity exclusion clause....  whistle:

Explanation* is not a word that enters into Mrs Nick's thinking ~ ever!

I'm with Mrs. Nick on this one. Valuing the contents is a worthwhile exercise and can save a lot of grief in the event of a major claim.

In any case, high value items have to listed on most policies.

I already said that about valuable items being individually listed.
The problem is that Mrs Nick has got a form from the specialist company that they are using (because it is an old, historic and listed building) and that makes the assumption that their library will contain books of equal historic value, that their furniture likewise etc. Just because it is a listed building it does not follow that the numpties who have designed the form have made allowance that the owners are "ordinary" people and not living in an ancestral hall along with the collections of furniture and books acquired by their ancestors down through the centuries.
Nick can see this but Mrs Nick is taking the questions on the forms at face value.

Ah, I see what you're going on about now. I must have missed the bit about Mrs. Nick having a specialist form. I thought she had scraps of paper.  confused:
