    OK, I have looked up the company and they seem to be no longer operating.

    Just about every civil service department I can think of has over the years - and particularly recently - shed staff.

    I suspect the only countries where there is no such risk for Civil Servants are North Korea and Cloudcuckooland.

    It's an incredibly minuscule percentage of the population that will become ill for more than a year. Not saying it doesn't happen, just being realistic. So statistically the chances of you needing cover for more than a year are extremely remote.....

    There are 26 million households in the UK, and about 44,000 household fires every year. Statistically the chances of your house actually catching fire are extremely remote.

    I have no intention of cancelling my household insurance though.
