"A football fan will get damages of £1m if England are knocked out of the World Cup early and he suffers trauma. Paul Hucker, from Ipswich, Suffolk, has taken out insurance through a broker based in Braintree, Essex, and it has cost him £100 plus £5 tax."

What constitutes trauma?

Trauma: Any injury, whether physically or emotionally inflicted. "Trauma" has both a medical and a psychiatric definition. Medically, "trauma" refers to a serious or critical bodily injury, wound, or shock. This definition is often associated with trauma medicine practiced in emergency rooms and represents a popular view of the term. In psychiatry, "trauma" has assumed a different meaning and refers to an experience that is emotionally painful, distressful, or shocking, which often results in lasting mental and physical effects.

"Mr Hucker will then have to provide medical evidence showing he has suffered severe mental trauma as a result to get his seven-figure payout"

I'd just develop some kind of tic, like shouting "CUNT!" at everyone, or slinging shit around. Got to be worth it for a million quid
