Money for nothing
« on: March 12, 2012, 06:08:35 PM »
So, I've just had my water bill, gone about 10%.
 
Today thay have announced there will be a hosepipe ban from 5th April!

What other industry increases prices for a reduced product in such fashion?

Most of them I think you'll find! A quick Goggle of summat like Mars and size should give you examples. Common practice these days - sadly.
