The whole 'switch energy provider' scene is another massive grift; you may compare elec rates and pick the best, then sign up to 12 month contract, but the contract only applies to the 'discount', not the unit rate. Get 33% off - then after you sign, actual unit rate goes up 40%.

How (and why) can companies pay out more in dividends than they make in profits? Well, here are some ideas...
The top 36 companies paid out 178% of their profits on average. The next 36 or so paid out less: they only rewarded their shareholders with 88% of the profits earned. Together these companies represented 60% of the market value of the companies surveyed and 56% of all sales.
In case anyone is wondering where the Eiffel Tower went, it seems these lads have it in their boat off the coast of Tramore...
