Endowment miselling race day

To everyone on the board can anyone provide any inspiration.

As most regulars on theis forum will know I run an endowment complaint company, no we are nothing like the others you may have seen postings about, see various rantings elsewhere if you are interested.

Anyway, we think that the other companies charge way too much and one biggie actually increase the amount they charge the less they win and actually take 50% if they win compensation of less than £500. Absolute disgrace.

To show how much we disagree with this, we have now decided that if a client wins £500 or less we will give the fee to charity and will officially launch this idea at Towcester races on March 9th and thats the problem. I only have five words for each race and want to make a comment about the whole endowment mis-selling debacle such as

Gamble with bookies not endowments

My endowment policy was rubbish

Mis-sold, misled, timebarred and miserable

Frankly, the muse is struggling a bit, so if anyone can come up with irace name suggestions, ideas gratefully received. If we use your idea on the day I will personally send a money saving free bottle of bubbly to contributor responsible, obviously will pm for details.

Any takers
