The utility companies are just the same as everything seems to be apart from my salary, prices go up by a few multiples of the inflation rate and what a surprise the companies profits sour! Gas has, or is just about to, go up by approx' 22%, coucil tax is about to go up by approx 5% etc... my salary went up this year (again) by only 2.5%. How do they arrive at the inflation rate as everything seems to go up much higher than the rate of inflation?
I refuse to pay thier extortionate rates on any of my vehicles and regularly refer to them as bandits .................. how ever, on the flip side i cant complain too much........my wife works for them, she has share save and profit share schemes running with them (which they subsidise aswell) and every time the company profits i can buy a shiney new peice of bling for one of my "TWO" Ducati's:P...............so i guess i should say thankyou to those of you insuring your bikes, cars or homes with Norwich Union :P
