    All these people getting worked up about geezers dressing up as parties. It really is of no consequence. It's a pity that in 1930's Germany they didn't stick to dressing up as women rather than getting into SS uniforms.

    Apart from many other examples, there's a post not far above you that shows you're spouting ****e yet again, you deluded bore.

    No wonder you have to sponge for a living. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Because they did the sensible thing. The vast majority of their electricity is from Nuclear Power.

    Plus it's state owned and the Frog Government have put a 4% cap on price increases.

    Ours just went up 54%

    Damn those bloody foreigners, taking care of their citizens.

    Agree with that.

    But at least we ain't Germany, they really are ****ed up the dung funnel and it's all their own doing.

    Wait until after the elections when whoever is in power in France has to find the money they used to prop up their lower fuel cost rise, as it's already whacked their EDF shares. They've only delayed the inevitable for a while. At what cost is the question. I doubt even the frogs are thick enough to fall for it. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Well since EDF own most of England's electricity output they will just hike the prices up here to offset their loses in France.

    That's what happens when you sell the family jewels to Jonny Foreigner instead of keeping them safe and secure in the hands of the state.

    I think they gave up on them around the same time as the UK and Italy.

    I could be completely wrong of course, I usually am. Made a damn good career out of being wrong.

    However, I do know the Nazis rely on 40% of their Gas and half of their Oil supply from Russia.

    That's why they have kept schtum on what's happening in Ukraine. They are potentially in a perilous situation if Putin decides to squeeze their knackers completely dry and hang them out to dry.

    Scottish Power is actually owned by an Italian company but yes, exactly the same. Why do you think that's funny?

    Do you think it's a good idea to sell our infrastructure to foreign states/companies?

    Scottish Power is owned by the Iderbola Group, who themselves are owned by a variety of compnies, such as Qatar Holding LLC, Blackrock and Norges Bank. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    You appear to be now trying your usual wriggle when you realise that your post revealed your ignorance yet again. I really should start charging you for the education. :emoticon-0128-hi:

    Are you going to answer the question put to you?

    Do you think it's a good idea to sell this countries infrastructure to foreign state/companies. Wherever they are from?

    Nope, because you only asked it to try to wriggle out of your initial ignorance.

    You need a new tactic, that one's so stale it stinks. <ok>
