  I agree with you Bern and I think that water companies at least should be 'mutualised' so that the consumer owns them rather than privately. On the gas and electric issue, I know someone who 'sold' it over the phone for a company. He told me that he gave a quote to one guy who when ballistic that it wasnt less expensive than his supplier and asked why Xpower could do it for much less as 'you're supposed to be cheap' and my friend told him that it was the beauty of the market, stopped his whinging dead in its tracks.
  What always baffles me is when capitalists refuse to make a profit. I discussed this with an Irish friend a few years ago and he was of a similar opinion, why dont they want our money? I'm sure there are other examples when they say they dont want our cash but the one we talked of was when they'd put up No Irish or No Blacks in their window. Of course they're not allowed to do that now because of pc types like me, but why would they not want to turn a profit?
