I buy my electricity from the Gas company! I buy my gas from the Electricity company! How stupid is that??
The Gas company just phoned to persuade me to switch to buying my gas from them. Makes some sense. That's what I used to do before the IWRTC (Idiots Who Run The Country) opened the floodgates of stupidity and allowed anyone to sell anything to anybody!!
Imagine the extra cost to the consumer of all the administration and accounting for this unnecessary, pointless and totally confusing cross-trading.
Since the young man who phoned took care to advise me that the call would be recorded "for monitoring purposes, etc.", I took the opportunity to make my feelings known, in no uncertain terms, as to what I thought of being constantly pestered to switch from one supplier to another when their bills are so deliberatly complicated that it is impossible to tell if one is getting a better deal.
Oh for the good old days, when you put a shilling in the meter or walked to the oil-shop for a gallon of parafin for the Valor heater or some candles.
