I can't remember the name of the company, but I think it was one of the natural gas providers - they'd had a profit announcement, and it was around £100million. And they'd just put prices up, because petrol/gas prices have been rising worldwide, so they have to pay more to buy it in the first place. So, of course, there was cries of outrage from all over, that they were making 'obscene profits' _and_ putting their prices up.

Then, further down the page, there was the number of customers.

Twenty million.

So they made £5 off of each customer in a year.

Well, yes. _That_ sounds completely unreasonable.

I'm not willing to pay £5 to the people who supply me with a service for a whole year.

No, not at all.
