My Satnav
I have a little Satnav,
It sits there in my car.
A Satnav is a driver's friend
It tells you where you are.
I have a little Satnav,
I've had it all my life,
It’s better than the normal ones,
My Satnav is my wife!
It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive,
"It's thirty miles an hour", it says
"You're doing thirty five".
It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake,
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake.
It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green,
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene.
It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear,
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.
I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device,
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice.
It fills me up with counselling;
Each journey's pretty fraught,
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the damned thing off !!

Warning Energy Companies Direct Debit Rip-Off
Some energy companies are sending letters to consumers saying
they have reviewed their direct debit payments and the amount taken will be
increased. We have had a letter ourselves stating “We’ve just completed your latest review and your Direct Debit payment
has been different to your usage, so we’ve now calculated your new payment
amount which we’ve summarised for you”. Our new calculated payment would
constitute an increase of just over 35% on our previous payments even though we
are actually in credit by more than a single monthly payment. I contacted our
supplier, EDF, and told them their review didn’t make sense and they
immediately, without any argument, changed our future direct debit payment back
to the amount we had been paying for the last year!
If you receive a similar
letter, check it carefully, and if you disagree with your supplier’s assessment
contact them.
A point of interest: the property to which the above refers in the last 12 months used less than £96 p/m of electricty. EDF calculated our future monthly usage to be £7,474.00!
