Direct Line Home Insurance: Sod's law is real enough

Sod's law does exist, according to Direct Line Home Insurance, and is costing Britons millions of pounds in emergency repairs.

Sod's law, which supposedly dictates that toast always lands butter-down when you drop it and the phone always rings when you're having a bath, has cost Britain £636 million in repairs, a Direct Line study estimates.

A quarter of Britons have spent at least £200 putting right what went wrong at the worst possible moment, whether this meant being locked out of home on the year's coldest day or finding the cash machine empty when short of money,

Andrew Lowe, head of Direct Line home insurance, said: "Home emergency situations at any time can be stressful and costly, especially when they happen at the worst possible moment, which they invariably do."

Direct Line Home Insurance compiled the data after its staff had discussed how patterns of leaks, cuts and accidents could prove the workings of Sod's law.
