Hilarious- guy in the office has bought a new 2nd floor flat in Brighton Marina for weekends etc and gets a phone call from the Mortgage provider asking if they can quote for home insurance. Several thousand questions later, including asking whether he will be staying there every night "No, it's a second home- as you know"- they give him the quote, but inform him it doesn't include cover for:

- Theft
- Attempted theft
- Water damage
- Fire damage
- About 15 other things which you'd need

He then suggests they should tell him what it actually does include:

"It does include flood damage sir"... (read the first line again- second floor flat)

No, thanks very much...

If a second floor flat gets flooded we are all in big trouble.

It's alright, there's a nice big cliff behind it!

We're a fifth floor flat, and we have had flood damage. From the kitchen in the flat above! Perfectly reasonable
