See Amazon are now doing home insurance
Anyone had a look?
Going to make a lot of insurers worried
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 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.
