My "advice" is to bring you back down off of the ceilng instead of screaming at everyone in the room forcing your view point.

I suggest you see a shrink if you can hear screaming.

Agreed, however, the Endowment sold also needs updating and maintaining until it's demise.

There is no business sense in doing that.  

I wasn't talking business sense, I was talking duty of care.

If there is no duty of care then so be it.

I still think it would be easier to do than you may think.

Its not.  

Then I must assume that you are an IT expert and know exactly how it would be done?

If so, enlighten me.

There is no duty of care issue.  You didn't have online access when you bought it and there was nothing to suggest you would.

I know a fair bit about IT and have a client that has worked on insurance company IT.  I also read the financial press about the issues and costs of upgrading legacy hard coded systems.     

Even the insurers that have spent billions (ie. Aviva) have still not found a way to get to one system and still need to maintain old hard coded systems for a good chunk of legacy plans.

Methinks the scene has been perfectly set by reading your delightful responses in this thread.
