send them your bill minus the extra charge and send a note explaining that the extra charge they are charging you just happens to be the same amount that you're charging them for the down time and loss of fresh food . Just jerk their chains alittle , you will have to end up paying but might as well get a couple digs in first, plus if everyone does this maybe it will piss someone off in the payment department

Ours was out for twelve days, and since we are on a well we had no water either. I really don't blame the power companies that much, they're in a no win situation with the public. The lines belong to them but were damaged by trees that belonged to others (privately, publicly and by businesses). It's yet another expense in an already rough year and I can understand being asked to share the cost as long as it's done within reason.
Don't get me wrong, if FEMA wants to drop off a new Camper and a two-thousand dollar line of credit at the local nudie bar I won't turn it down.;)
