Love of lathes.

We had a similar experience with insurers when we moved here - they wanted to put a huge excess and also a huge premium on our building cover. Why? They reckoned we were within 300 mtrs of the River Tees which does flood most winters. I suggested that they look on Google Earth or maybe an Ordnance Survey map for contours. As well as being 300 mtrs away from the river, we are 100 mtrs ABOVE it!!!! That's going to be a flood of biblical proportions if it gets to us.

Needless to say, I didn't insure with them.
