    Seems they're acting as a broker for insurance providers who will conform to Amazon's model of providing good customer service, so things like speed of settling claims, ease of setting up a policy and such like. Bit like a slimmed down GoCompare I suppose. Cost, don't know but it'll be competitive I expect. Just did mine last week otherwise I'd have had a look.

    Burger King faces legal claim over size of Whopper
    Burger King must face a lawsuit that alleges it makes its Whopper burger appear larger on its menus than it is in reality, a US judge has ruled.


    The lawsuit accuses the fast food giant of misleading customers by showing the burger with a meatier patty and ingredients that "overflow over the bun".

    "The plaintiffs' claims are false," Burger King told the BBC.

    Rivals McDonald's and Wendy's are facing a similar lawsuit in the US.

    The class action lawsuit against Burger King alleged that the Whopper was made to look 35% larger, with more than double the amount of meat compared to what was actually served to customers.

    He was also good at contortionism.

    And he was much better than David Nixon ever was.

    Canada has issued a new travel warning to its LGBT citizens planning to visit the United States.

    Anti-LGBT protests in the US rose 30-fold last year compared with 2017, while legal moves to restrict LGBT rights are on the rise.

    Global Affairs Canada warned that some state laws may affect them on their travels, but did not specify where.

    Such warnings are usually reserved for countries such as Uganda, Russia or Egypt.

    "Some states have enacted laws and policies that may affect 2SLGBTQI+ persons. Check relevant state and local laws," reads its US travel advice page.

    The term 2SLGBTQI+ is widely used in Canada for people who consider themselves two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer,

    The terminology will need abbreviating soon.
