I'd like to hear more on this topic. <br />I recently moved to Northern California. Although the acronyms are different, the experience of being'serviced'is similar. I especially resonate with what you say about your experience with ACN. After months of struggle with their dishonest dealings, my wife and I paid them off just to be rid of them.<br />I believe that the Age To Come has already arrived and as soon as people realize that they have a choice, they are opting out of being exploited.Arthur K.

I move (and have moved) house much more often than the average middle-aged person, and each time it's also been a complete nightmare. Not just utilities (who vary from mediocre to atrocious), but also things like schools, council tax and anything with your address on it. I had assumed it was just modern society's in-built bias in favour of well-to-do, non-transient home owners (after all, they get preference for the best school places - a scandal which somehow never makes the news). But you alternative explanation, that big modern organisations are naturally feeble, is perhaps even more plausible. Perhaps it's both.Iain Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844909668661902521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169740113013066976.post-22364246287594242472014-10-13T10:55:26.482+01:002014-10-13T10:55:26.482+01:00David, you have a point. Even before reading your...David, you have a point. Even before reading your blog a thought was brewing in my mind whilst being packed like a beaked bean on a Southern train. It’s for a new drama called “The Angry Village”. It would take ideas from The Chrysalids from John Wyndham and Frankenstein from Mary Shelley. Start with an apparently idea country village where the vicar really does ride a rickety old bike and the rustic pub is full of men in their cricketing whites on a Sunday. Then a group of elite incomers slowly take over by manipulation and stealth. Gradually the parish council is dissolved in favour of a village manager. Bit by bit notices spring up on the village green and pot holes in the lanes grow in numbers. After a while the villagers wake up to what was happening and take their revenge. The insuring revolution puts the French to shame. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
