Affordable flood insurance, censorship of online videos, wigs for men
Consumer news. Julian Worricker asks how insurance can be made affordable for people living in areas which are regularly flooded. And why aren't wigs more popular with men?
The cost of insurance in areas which are regularly flooded can be prohibitively high, with some people finding they can't afford to get the cover they need. The government has been working with the insurance industry to resolve the problem, but so far there has been no agreement. The elderly woman who was sold six warranties for a TV satellite system she doesn't even own. There is little censorship of films and videos on the internet, but could film-makers themselves be effective at certifying their own work? The fraud which targeted a supermarket loyalty card scheme and is still causing problems, months after it was first discovered. Why aren't wigs and hair pieces more popular with men?
