Had a call from Scottish Power.
"I have some good news for you - you entered a competition for £3000 of John Lewis vouchers"
"Yes" (in that split second, all the things I could do with £3000 flew through my mind)
"Well I am ringing to tell you that ... if you switch to Scottish Power, you are likely to save money... and even if you don't you will still be entered into the competition..."
:mad:
The annoying thing is that I am already a customer of Scottish Power !
