well Adam here is a thought the British public have being sold insurance for the last 38 years with the world sold its optional
Sadly today we live in a world of I want it and I want it now as cheap as possible.
This needs a change of regulation form the top 38 years and counting, Don’t hold your breath.

Yes you are quite right about Guardian being one of the best if not best on quality dual lives unemployment clause etc
Friendly Societies can now make the biggest impact no shareholders and their income protection certain society game changer benefits look at them and make your comments Holloway friendly medical expenses benefit

Insurance is all about waiting lists now how quickly can i get my treatment and Companies who can assist without expensive pmi cover deserve to succeed

and here is another comment the income protection product of Guardian i do not think for one minute is being taken seriously by Advisers
its to expensive and yet to be convinced by a claim that will pay out own job rather than own occupation
I have been doing this job for 41 years so if i do not know what i am talking about god help the rest of you
see friendly society forget the main ones with their shareholder profit and underwriting with some that would make a Vicar swear
