Scottish Power to increase piss taking by 19%




Scottish Power is to increase taking the piss out of its customers by 19% and not giving a toss by 10%, with other utility companies expected to follow suit.

The utility firm said the extra piss-taking, which would affect 2.4 million households in the UK, would come into effect from 1 August.
Raymond Jack, Scottish Power’s UK retail director, said: “Taking the piss out of our customers is not something that we undertake lightly.”
“I would like to reassure our customers that despite blaming sustained increases in the wholesale energy market for the increase in taking the piss, we’ll still be announcing huge profits next year.”

Urine extraction rises ‘necessary’

Scottish Power, which is part of Spanish company Iberdrola, last increased its pisstaking in November, when it rose 2% and not giving a toss went up by 8.9%.
Audrey Gallacher, head of energy at Consumer Focus, said “Companies have been softening customers up for a rise in blatant pisstaking for months but customers will be shocked at the scale of this rise.”
Consumers have revealed their confusion at the outrageous hike in piss-taking with 45 year old Malcolm Jevons of Hereford saying “I’m sure when they privatised everything they said the free market would control prices”


“You mean they were taking the piss?”

Fuck me, how do these power companies get away with it? It's like they all get together and collectively agree how they are all going to screw us.

Why is the government completely powerless to do anything about these cunts?

I'm with these robbing cunts... Is it too late to fix the price for a few years?

This story isn't true.

Scottish Power haven't increased their prices by 19%. That's not true.

I have just received an e-mail from Scottish Power stating that, in my area, gas prices are increasing by 34%.

Yes, 34%.

I have it in black and white.

34%.

I have no words.

[flumperino]

Sorry, again, the above is wrong. I was pissed up and got confused, lol.

Just to confirm, the e-mail I have states that electricity prices are rising by 34%, and gas prices are going up by 56%.

Yes, that's 56%. I really wonder how the bosses at these companies sleep at night.

I'm (currently) with the shower of shit as well and my elec is going up by 27.4%

I'm with Southern Electric and I haven't received any emails / letters about the price rises.
