A wonderful typo from the BBC "Have Your Say" page...

...which is currently hosting a debate about same-sex marriage.

"We need to keep marriage as a scared institution"

That was fun. Just has a man from Southern Electric turn up on my doorstep, hammer on the door and inform me that he was here because there had been complaints about "high electricity tariffs" in the area.

Had I noticed? Well, no.

So he shows me a photocopied British Gas letter, tells me that I've got the most expensive electricity in the country and tries to persuade me to switch on the spot.

Er... no.

Most annoyingly, he didn't take "sorry, no" as an answer and wanted me to explain myself before he went away. Idiot. Leaving with a parting comment of "well, it's your choice..." (in a 'you'll be so-rry' tone of voice) didn't exactly win me over, either.

Muppet.
