The Time When I Tried To Buy Holiday Home Insurance

I went to the holiday home insurance company and tried to get insured. “What kind of property do you want to insure, sir?” the girl behind the holiday home insurance counter asked politely.

“well I said, I it’s quite modest, not too big at all.”

“Is it a cottage sir?” she asked.

“No, it’s not, it’s a bit smaller than that actually. “

“And what items do you want to cover inside the tent sir?” she asked.

“Well, I’ve got a wind-up radio and torch, and er let me think, well, I’ve got a stove” I said.

“Is that all sir? Are you sure you need to get all that ensured?” she enquired.

“Yes, yes definitely I said”

She continued quizzing me: “Well, ok, going back to the property itself. Is it situated in a bad area, is there much crime around?”

“No, no there’s very little crime around, I said – in fact there isn’t anyone around at all. I don’t think there’s much crime around. You only get cows where I am.”

The girl laughed politely, but looked a little confused.

“How much would you value the property for sir?”

“Well I think it cost around 65 when I bought it.”

She looked a little surprised “65 thousand, sir, that must have been a few years ago?”

“No, I mean it was £65.” I stated.

“Sir, you live in a tent, don’t you?”

“Why yes, what did you think I lived in?”
