I thought it was pretty clear that £20 was the premium, and that £200 was the ticket price.

i.e. 50,000 insurance premiums at £20

vs

500 claims of £200

I missed that bit, apologies!

Last few pages are absolutely grim reading.

The prospect of no loud, packed football crowds, no packed music venues, no packed bars with singing, seeing loads of folk youve no seen in ages and getting a blether is just total shite, all that’ll happen is everyone’s social lives will move to house parties whether illegal or not and it’s a grim reality that it would appear that some people advising the government actually want and the government don’t seem to be resisting.

Absolutely correct and the mere act of vaccine passporting will only encourage this trend. We are not at Israel levels of vaccination, nor Israel levels of creepy state compliance either (yet). If the government tries to create a two-tier system then its remaining restrictions will - rightly or wrongly - be flouted and ignored wherever possible.

That'll be a 'No you actually didn't say this; deepest apologies for being wrong.' 

It only very clearly implies this if you are foolish enough to consider peer distraction the main cause of a student's inability to complete tasks. Are you that foolish?

I don't believe I'm the one who's emerging from this exchange looking foolish.

You're as strident as you are ignorant.  It's a lousy combination.

Your blubbering didn't answer my question:

Its nurseries and P1 to 3 that was the plan so you are surely expecting that already?

Or are you just menaing confirmation?

Leitch was tempering it down a bit last week, saying numbers may not have come down enough to allow it to happen.

£100k is 10% of £1m. Claims ratio is calculated on value, not volume.

1% would be your claims frequency.

I would assume from your earlier comment that the insurer trousering 90% of the premiums would be frowned upon as it would be viewed as profiteering?  I could understand this for products you have to have (like car insurance) but less so when it's entirely optional insurance.

I think if there are restrictions going forward we'll accept them with little more than a whimper, even if some would be unthinkable 6 months ago.

Suspect if it wasn't going ahead we'd have seen some government approved leaking to the press by now.

Stamping your foot while repeatedly mouthing the same irrelevance will not win the day I'm afraid.

Tell me about it. Sturgeon was a bit more positive yesterday, I think it will happen. As said by @renton I think there would have been stronger leaks that it wasn't going to happen by now if so.

Yes, products have to be designed to meet a customer need, and value is a consideration within that.
