The price of peace of mind

According to the Daily Mail, Dutch winemaker Ilja Gort, has a nose for the job - a £3.8m one. Lloyds has decided to insure his nose for the sum after concluding that his smelling ability is "far above usual".

Thank the Lord and pass the biscuits! I have got a quote from Lloyds: £234,908. At least I will be covered. I was beginning to think that all those thousands of hours of beer tasting may have gone to waste.

But now I can quaff safe in the knowledge my belly is fully insured. Third party, fire and wind.
