In the media spotlight...again
I am expecting a camera crew from BBC 1 Look North to arrive at Myhaven in about an hour's time. The subject is the recent price hike for energy supplies. It has emerged that the big 3 suppliers have been accused of price fixing. All I know is that I spend 50% of my jobseekers allowance each week on gas and electric. Last year, N Power put a 25% increase on my bills twice within a few weeks. And recently, they put another 17% on my bill. That's an increase of 67% in less than a year, and yet we are told that inflation is at 2%. Not only have they increased it by 17%, but they have also increased the amount they claw back on my debt. This went up from £3.40 per week to £5.00. In effect, they have increased the price of the gas I have already used which was supplied at a cheaper rate.
UPDATE: There will be a brief piece on the 1 O'Clock News at lunchtime and a bigger piece on the 6.30 Look North tonight.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
