    I live near Steve Redgrave - do you think that poses extra risk when I dip my headlights?

    I think your car would come off worse in an accident with the great Steve Redgrave
  • Luckily it seems she was just K.Iddon
  • It's true that having a customer flatten a pro athlete is one of the things that keeps insurers up at night. But, unless your job is to be a chauffeur for a Premiership footballer, being near an athlete won't harm your insurance.

    Laugh your socks off, but wasn't it maiming an up and coming cyclist on Guernsey that downgraded Tradex's S&P rating, so much so that we can no longer use them.

    Surely that's a good thing

    You might be confusing him with his bronze statue.

    As the vast majority of that claim would fall upon reinsurers, any downgrade would surely be either a knee-jerk reaction or a reflection of more fundamental issues with Tradex's performance?
