It's conker season and time for insurers to prepare themselves as eager youngsters go to extreme lengths to find their champion chestnut. Sticks, cricket bats and even crash helmets have been reportedly pelted at trees to knock down a prize-winning conker.
Alas, aim is not always up to scratch and has resulted in a number of insurance claims by homeowners.
Backchat hopes that staff at a certain reinsurance broking firm (no names, but you know who you are!) were more safety conscious as they scavenged for horse chestnuts for their conker night.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
