If there was any honesty in the free market mantra the Tories use to shot

anywhere.

I'm still waiting to be able to change my water company - as promised by
their privatisation. When's that due ?

I don't have a meter and pay what I consider is an excessive charge, but
the company claims that they can't review it as it's based on the rates
that don't exist any more.

I don't think competition does the customer any good apart from tins of
beans on the supermarket shelf.

Competition made one hell of a difference when we dumped our
monopoly phone company and got real competition. With the
mobile phone service in spades. We have $10/month for unlimited
calls and texts and MMSs to any landline and mobile in the country
now.

Electricity and gas is much more competitive now too.
