It is kind of difficult with this jet fuel thing, because what people are wondering is whether the jet fuel shortage, which is obviously caused by the conflict in Iran, still counts in insurance terms as a sort of act of war or an act of conflict.
That's kind of not clear at the minute.
And I think it's a bit too early for...
people to have put through claims and seen whether they've been accepted or rejected.
So that's kind of something to watch out for, I would say.
But yeah, still, I think it's a good idea to get insurance.
But just be aware that it's possible that insurers could use this kind of loophole to get out of it.
But we'll have to wait and see.
It sounds like quite a tempting offer, doesn't it?
ยฃ150,000 for a slice of your garden that you don't really use or care about.
And I mean, look, there's some people that would never dream of giving up part of their garden.
But I think for some people, you know, let's be honest, we probably only get...
Two months of the year in the UK when you can really spend any substantial time in your garden, if we're lucky.
I've recently got a garden for the first time and I find I absolutely love it during the summer.
But the rest of the year, it's just like sort of sitting there and looking out the window and thinking, oh, that's all right.
So this is, yeah, this is interesting.
So it's basically, we've got an article about this on the website and our reporter Jane Denton has spoken to a man who lives in a four bed house in Arnott's Grove in North London.
He had a 270 square metre garden.
So that's big, that's larger than a tennis court.
And he was getting older, he was kind of finding it difficult to maintain.
