    You selectively choose bits to reply to!

    And same back at you. What commission?
    How wide a mind does a prospective client of yours have to demonstrate before you deign to take their money?

    There is no such score I can give. However, if the person is the sort of know it all because the Daily Mail said so and shows no inclination of wanting to understand or the "dont need to know, just tell me where to sign" type then I will not take them on. You are just building up problems for later if you do.

    .
    I dunno.


    (You tell us how you make money when you deign to accept these clients who don't agree with the MAil.)


    Presumably you score people by Q + A:


    Prospect: I'd like to take out a £5 million life policy


    DunstonH: Do you read the Daily Mail


    Prospect: Yes (What's it got to do with you?}


    DH: I'll tell you in a min. Do you believe what it says?


    Prospect: Yes


    DH: F off then. I don't want people like you coming to me.

    So, why say it then?

    You stole my interviewing script :mad:
    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

    With you all the way. The sad thing is that Mail readers seem to feel superior to readers of the Express and the Sun.

    Ho hum.......:)
