    Top cat Mark P is off galivanting…again. We really should check who’s approving his annual leave. As a parting gift before he went to live it up at the Hellsinki (not a typo) Metal Festival he volunteered “Pigden” to take on this week’s Update. So, here I am. I can only apologise.

    News of Aviva acquiring AIG’s UK protection arm came as a bit of a surprise towards the end of September. But perhaps it shouldn’t have done. Industry insiders tell me that rumours had been doing the rounds, as is often the case with such deals. The US insurance firm even hinted of a sale earlier in the year.
