Today we have a small puzzle. What do the following three pictures have in common?


That's right - the first is the unconnected electricity supply, the second is the unconnected telephone line and the last one is the unconnected water supply. The utility companies all have monopoly positions - and have customer service that goes with it. The builder and I think we have made well over 50 phone calls between us to Southern Electricity, Southern Water and BT - and we still haven't got anything connected.
