Electricity is, of course, a free, competitive market, leading to higher efficiency amd lower bills.  Had it still been state owned, the power shortages would be severe enough to affect puppies as well - possibly even kittens.  But fortunately, whichever company the post office electricity contract is with, it's Probably Owned by the French.  So we can safely blame them, and not the creaking infrastructure that privatisation has mysteriously failed to put right.
