10/17/2006: "Will I get a pay rise now?"

My local Chelmsford bus companyannounced the second price increase of nearly 10 percent within the period of one year. This came on top of the 15% price increase of the train, three price increases of 10% each for gas and three price increases of 10% each for the electricity company. All within the past year, and then I am not even talking about the price increases of everything else.

Those companies are operating at billions of pounds of profit each year and there is nothing that anyone can do about it. The UK is simply rediculous!
