7.45- Thought for the Day
'My car was stolen - and I lost my no-claims bonus. Why? It wasn't my fault.' 'What kind of insurance policy qualifies for tax relief?' 'If I surrender my endowment policy, will I lose much money?' 'I've burned a hole in the carpet. Will I get enough money to buy a new one?' 'Can I insure my greyhound?' 'What's the difference between assurance and insurance?' Just some of the questions that crop up when insurance is the topic. But be assured that David Scott will do his best to answer yours when you call.

What causes cancer? This remains a mystery despite decades of effort. The reason may well be that it is caused only by a precise sequence of events. Regions of high cancer incidents such as Shanghai, where liver tumours are very common, and the Scottish Highlands, where cows suffer from an ' epidemic ' of cancer, give a handle to study how various factors in the environment can interact to produce cancer.
