    Maybe cos everything is privately owned?


    Winter subsidies for pensioners were removed by the new Labour government.

    The missus was moaning about our latest leccy bill which was 100000 pesos. I've no idea what she was expecting it to be.

    Not just privately owned but majority owned by overseas investors whose own country regulations wouldn't allow them to make the same profits in their home markets.

    Also:

    Government mandated smart meter roll out levy - added to everybody's bill

    Government "Green Deal" home insulation upgrade scheme - added to everybody's bill

    Upgrades to National Grid - added to everybody's bill

    Etc etc etc. Always added to the customer's bill with never the suggestion that investors ought to shell out as a cost of making their investment.

    Eight million quid for the CEO is disgraceful, obscene and a very bad look for the company, in my opinion but is little more than a rounding error in the context of Centrica's annual turnover.

    ...and another thing: Chris O'Shea's remuneration package isn't even amongst the highest of the FTSE 100 company CEOs where 10, 12, even 16 million salaries may be found. And to find the highest paid British executive you have to look outside the Footsie to Bet365 and their chief executive Denise Coates.


    Denise Coates package of salary, bonus, shares etc was increased this year - increased - by the same amount as the total Chris O'Shea gets. It currently stands at over two hundred and twenty million pounds per annum.

    Would my two years of experience managing a Wm Hills shop stand me in good stead to be her assistant?
