Your posts are long but it is hard to tease out the issues. You say you will soon "call to one of the biggest insurance company pension providers in the land to ask them at Executive level why they are behaving crookedly". If you do get through (I suggest it may be better to ask a question at a shareholder AGM - buy 1 share if you do not own any) then I suggest you run through a short list of concise bullet points. Stick to specifics not generalisations. As soon as you start using extensive fruit metaphors the conversation is likely to come to a swift end.

I will stop posting now and wish you the best of luck in your battle with the industry.

I thank you for you advice and good wishes, Reaper. I fear the type of tactics you suggest can use up many years in making small steps toward real progress, as I detect you may already know.

It agree it will be interesting to see whether there is any receiving conscience at the top when I do decide it is time to make the call. I don't doubt I will get through to a director's office, if not a director.

Meantime I still have the most basic information to gather from their lower offices because they do not communicate performance and operation of the product as a rule. FSA said as much 5 years ago but it is worse now I think. I have to admit that it is worse than watching paint dry getting the simplest of emails out of them (they tell me their emails are not instant because they have to check them first!), but at least I get to speak to someone different every day in the process of chasing them up, so I have a unique opportunity to bring numerous impressionables up to speed on the parts of their industry educations and own company histories that their employers conveniently overlooked

And yes, the earlier fruit farming metaphors were but a brief dalliance in trying to recapture a lost image of the natural order of all good things. You must excuse that I allow myself my little excursions sometimes

According to a report just now on News night:

David Cameron is making statements on this subject, that things need improving.

But he hasn't explained why his intervention stopped tightening up of data protection law last year.
