Would that be the same National Grid that delivered a forecast-beating 12 per cent rise in first-half pre-tax profits to Â£872m (so that could be Â£1748m for the whole year).

Would that be the same EDF Energy who made Â£580m pre-tax profits in 2005.

Would that be the same E.ON UK who posted a Â£300m half-year profits (so that could be Â£600m for the whole year) in 2006.

Cheapest is not good enough, but while the profits above are being made, excuse me if I don't cry too hard for the distribution companies.
