That doesn't suprise me at all Paul. It seems to be a world-wide trend. I was talking to a guy in the Chatroom and he said that his Utility was looking at a (and I am not making this up) 72% (Seventy-Two percent) increase in rates this year!. Bugger me!. What gives these people a licence to print money??. How can folks on wages like ours afford this?. Merry Christmas.
