The perfect description of someone with more money than sense.

Speak of the devil...

Sorry you're assuming again.

I do care, that's why I have a fixed contract.

heh... some things just don't matter.

Or just can't control, like dealing with council.

[BoristheBiter]

well. Whaddaya gonna do?
Go off grid, retire to a caravan in teh wops, live on a boat, bus?
Nope. You need title to an house and a good credit rating. Otherwise youre subhuman.

There was a guy that lived in the Kaweka's, was there for quite a few years if I recall.

I need electricity, so I pay for it. I don't care if they overcharge me, primarily because I'll never know why and they could easily make up some bullshit that I won't be able to argue against... and I wouldn't challenge them without evidence. However I have "beaten" the council before.

You're the one that said 90% don't care. Which sounds more like an assumption to me.

I was simply pointing out that those that don't care if they're being charged correctly or not deserve everything they get. Or fail to get.

True, half of the people who get their power bills haven't got a clue what it's about but that is not the power companies fault.

In our own case power is one of the lesser monthly items, Telecom is the biggy for us, god knows why their charges are so high!

Off grid power is expensive and can not compete with price or reliability when the power company supply lines run right past the door.

As the distance from the supplier increases so does the benefit of off grid power plants because the line establishment and maintenance charges are so high.

Most of the worlds off grid or even grid conected power supplies are heavily subsidised by their respective governments but not here!

Whats more subsidy was never offered by the last Labour/Green government iether and they owned more of the power supply system than any previous government.

etc

the peace of mind is worth it.
Not reliant on any number of shit not to break. Naturally or otherwise.
Probably makes quite easy target for the orbiting lasers though...

WTF is wrong with you? You forgot to add: "and worse yet, because those who don't complain about being incorrectly charged set a precedent that allows a company to carry on their questionable practices. They are directly responsible for me having to validate my bills and therefore are directly responsible for me having to complain that I have been charged more for a service than I believe I should have been charged. Everything they do is wrong, they should all be like me." Edit: "waaaah waaaaah waaaaaahh"

Why the fuck should I complain about how other people spend their money? That's your specialty.

Make your mind up... or throw out some weasel words.

That wasn't a complaint dude.

If I'd pointed out that you'd have more money than sense if you were stone broke it still wouldn't amount to more than an observation of the blatantly obvious.

[puddytat]

I think that's more like 90% of consumers don't care.

And/or that is the least of their worries or just another one.....

Meanwhile in 10%erville they are doing o.k.

Weasel words then.

What a gutless cock donkey is for not sacking that bitch Collins.

I did enjoy seeing her eat shit on the telly last night after being a total cunt all week.

Fuckers. All of them.
