Brits reveal biggest regrets to life cover provider

A new study by top life insurance firm Norwich Union has shown that 80 per cent of British people have major regrets.
The study found that the most common regret was never having learned to play a musical instrument - 13 per cent of respondents admitted they longed to have to picked up a guitar, or sat down at a piano.
Many respondents also regretted not going to university, or following the wrong career path.
Norwich Union commissioned the survey to stress that you should never regret taking out insurance - recent research revealed that half of the UK adult population have insufficient life cover.
"Although this research is fairly light-hearted, it underlines the fact that most people have at least one thing they regret - from something relatively minor to something potentially life changing," said Paul Stokes, head of marketing and communications at Norwich Union.
"Life insurance can give comfort at what is a very distressing time, so we are keen that it shouldn't be something people regret not taking out."
He added that though many people might only consider life insurance or income protection cover when they started a family, this type of insurance was recommended for all ages.
"It's something which can offer peace of mind to any person, whatever their circumstances."
