Snake oil!


Quite.

Ere, harry, I heard about a similar scam where 'some people' pay good
money to put solar panels on their roofs (possibly blighting their
houses and buying into obsolete technology) that *only* provides
energy when (and you will like this bit), during the sunny days (and
not at all at night) and very little when the sun isn't shining hard
or during the winter etc. However, in spite of that massive 'issue'.
you get other people (who have no choice in the matter) to *pay you*
for the energy your create, even if you use it yourself! Yeah, you
heard it right!

And get this, it's index linked and guaranteed for 20 years or so!

But I wonder what sort of person would stoop as low as to impose that
on anyone else eh, not anyone with a functioning moral compass that's
for sure! I best it's the same people who push in at the last second
on merging traffic or leave just as it's their round down the pub. ;-(

Oh, and I nearly forgot ... not only do those same 'people' (and this
really takes some believing) want to earn money off the rest of us for
their 'snake oil' scam, they *also* expect us to carry on powering
*them* when their panels aren't working (so that's at least 1/3 of
every year!).

You really couldn't make it up could you!!!

I hear there's free passes for buses which not everybody uses/gets.
Oh and schools which everybody has to pay for.
And an NHS. And child/unemployment benefit.

Not everybody's as thick as you.
