When you lie on your sick bed you mind tends to wander so I was thinking at a complete tangent. Given my passion for bringing down my utility bills I got to wandering.
Take electicity, the basic design is brilliant, it is an adaptation of the simple electrical circuit: your electricity company sends electricity through a wire to you, then immediately gets the electricity back through another wire, then (this is the brilliant part) sends it right back to you.
This means that an electricity company can sell you the same batch of electricity thousands of times a day and never get caught, since very few customers take the time to examine their electricity closely. In fact, I calculate, the last year any new electricity was generated in the UK was 1978; the electricity companies have been merely re-selling it ever since, which is why they have so much free time to apply for rate increases.
It is grand larceny on a major scale and something has to be done about it. When I get better I will be lobbying for support.
Have a nice day
