We are greedy robbing bastards

"We might be able to save you some money" so says the blurb from Virgin Media, with regard to our mobile phones.

Paragraph one drones on about various new packages they're introducing, which apply to people who pay line rental. We don't on our tariff, but the calls are slightly more expensive - - anyway, their exciting new offers don't apply to us.

Paragraph two tells me that "The way your call charges are calculated is also going to change. Instead of charging to the nearest second, calls will be rounded up to the next minute. So, for example, a call that lasts 4 minutes 50 seconds will be rounded up to 5 minutes."

They didn't give the example that if your call lasts, for example, 2 minutes 1 second it will be rounded up to 3 minutes, did they? Always rounding up, never rounding down, I notice.

So, let's face it, their headline "We might be able to save you some money" should really have been "We're definitely going to charge you more".

Now that's cleared up, I'm going to finish packing to go to Burgundy. Hurrah.
