Whose bright idea?

Our gas company sent us some energy saving lightbulbs today.

The big question is why?

This is the company that took 12 months to send us our first bill (having consistently denied that we existed), is actually one of the most expensive suppliers in the country, and we are due to stop being their customer in about 2 weeks (having waited 6 weeks for the privilege). So from a position where even sending us a bill was too much trouble, we now get light bulbs - 4 of them.

Apparently this is supposed to be green. But firstly, we only buy gas from them, not electricity - I can therefore only assume it's a fiendish plot to make us buy less electricity from their competitors. Secondly, if I'd wanted some lightbulbs, I'd have bought some. Thirdly, we can't even use them because out house is full of halogen downlighters, not conventional incandescent bulbs. All in all it's a complete farce.

All this cheap stunt does is to reaffirm my commitment to stop paying them any more money as soon as possible.
