Severe flooding may have wreaked havoc across the Midlands and northern England, but there’s nothing like a good bit of irony to lessen the tension.
While thousands begin the clear up and insurers meet ministers over the £1.5bn cost of claims, Guy Munnoch, from ‘because change happenz’ Zurich, has astutely pointed out the unfortunate name of one flood-hit town.
“It is rather ironic that Hull, which is obviously part of a boat, was so affected by the flooding,” he explained to a packed room of journalists.
Backchat is sure residents will chuckle at the irony and that the thousands of uninsured homeowners will be rushing to take out Zurich household cover.
