What a surprise

Our power got cut off a couple of years ago (we were paying for the wrong house, cos the power co stuffed up the meter numbers).

Anyway, after an hour (and several phone calls), I was on phone to the call centre to them telling them that I was about to cut the little seal thing on the meter and switch my power back on.

And I refuse to believe that no-one in that house had a cellphone if their phone was also cut off.

Also, don't forget that they have already had $10K from the power company.

This is like compensating people for their own stupidity. They have also had their power cut off several times before this incident. Power co should have told them to go piss up a rope. They did nothing wrong!

They got $10,000 off the power company when this first happened, not to mention all the donated goods and now they want more. It is obvious she contributed a great deal to her own death by being morbidly obese so why should they be compensated?

I don't know if all the kids were born in NZ but if they weren't, they should send them back to where they came from. Have you seen the size of them? They showed the young teenage son on the news the other night and he would already be well over 100kg so he's going to go down the same path as his mother and also be a burden on our health system.

As someone pointed out the other day, if his mother required oxygen that needed a power supply to work, the FIRST bill that would be paid every month would be the power bill. Not the KFC bill.
