9 December: Tourist attractions
The architecture isn’t the only thing that attracts visitors to Amsterdam.
On a lads holiday Mr Policyholder was, erm, enjoying some of the other attractions of the Netherlands city - the kind you won't find in the guide books available at your popular high street bookshop.
Having spent some time in the paid company of a new ‘friend' he made in the red light district, Mr Policyholder was dismayed to discover his fail-safe method of contraception had, well failed him.
Being responsible, Mr Policyholder contacted his insurer immediately to put in a claim for medical expenses - to cover the costs of testing at the sexual health clinic, to ensure the wooden clogs were the only souvenirs he brought back.
