This week's award for crazy the scientific experiment that could have a profound impact on the insurance industry goes to some Scottish scientists who believe they have created a device that can predict the future.

The machine, it is claimed, predicted the 11 September attacks, the Asian tsunami and the death of Princess Diana. Backchat wonders whether the time will come when every insurer has such a device in its offices ready to withdraw cover whenever major disasters are predicted.

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.
