April 1st Already?


I'm not sure whether this is actually a joke or something serious that they are planning to do. But knowing companies nowadays, anything is possible.


There was a report on the news yesterday that EDP, the nationalised electricity company, want to add 1-2€ to everyone's bill to compensate for those people that have not paid their bills. So if you haven't paid your bill, don't worry because EDP will charge everyone else for your debt.


Can this be true?


In other news, with the increasing price of fuel TAP, the national airline, is being forced to cancel flights because either they aren't receiving deliveries of fuel, or because they can't afford to buy more fuel.


The Portuguese refer fondly to TAP as 'Take Another Plane', as the service for a national airline can be pretty awful at times. Having said that, apart from flight delays we've always had a pretty good service from TAP. Clearly Portuguese will soon be forced onto other planes.
