I'm surprised not to find a topic on this

Yesterday, Sheffield Utilities pulled the power on many of the people still trying to "catch up" from their (Sheffield Utilities) recent billing trouble. Any other business would have to eat the cost of such a mistake. But, Sheffield Utilities LOANED the money to the city instead. What a wonderful way to spend our money!
There were many solutions that would have been more fair, such as estimate a bill(s) from past bills. Yes, I was one of those people that got shafted, but was fortunate enough to be able to cover the almost 200% increase I recieved. Many were not so lucky, and are now in the dark because of this. I, myself have a lease clause stating failure to keep utilities for any period will void my lease. Hopefully, few if any of those without power have similar clauses.
I will not explain where the Whole of Sheffield Utilities can go. Nor will I say what they can do when they arrive there. God help anyone who were to threaten anyone at the Utilities, because then they'd be a "terrorist". Although I'm positive there are those that would like to.
Maybe next time we'll at least get a friendly kiss first....
