No no no, just let the other homes burn. Not mine though. I'm different.

Every old is new again. AIG is acting just as all the old English Fire Insurance companies. Companies dispatched fire fighters to structures bearing their 'shield'/ 'fire marks'. "The early English fire insurance companies originally used fire marks to identify properties they insured because each insurance company had its own fire brigade. These private insurance brigades only fought fires on properties identified by their employers' mark or badge. In England, the insurance companies originated before the firefighting companies." Fire Marks - a Good Story. "In America, it was the reverse - the volunteer fire companies were in existence before the first fire insurance company was organized. They fought fires whether or not a building displayed a fire mark."

So when DID the Tories take over AIG?
