Scottish Power

Just had an email from Scottish Power, bless ’em. They say “Wholesale energy prices have been rising dramatically too, and although we’ve been doing what we can to absorb these costs for as long as possible, we now have to increase our prices.”

Looking a little deeper, I found that their profits have fallen from €508.8m a year to a mere €367.8 million. Poor wee things.

Anyone up for organising a whip-round to help them out?
