Bad news is enough now.

The electricity and gas suppliers try to spoil the mood until the very end.

We have just received a letter from a reader from Rhein-Main with an electricity price adjustment for February to 69.85 cents per kWh.

Energy4u from Siegburg is the name of the hip provider, written in lower case, of course, 4u in green.

Are you cool there or just plain cool?

Ever heard the term usury?

One can only guess: Let's go, and above all never go there.

The fact that the expensive Ökostrom4u line transports it is nice so far, but just because something is green, when everything is supposed to be green except for the Christmas tree at Christmas time, does not mean that the consumer has to put up with every impertinence.

Of course, green itself can't help it, the color has something.

The rubbish bin in our new office is colored like this, already with slight signs of wear, but a real eye-catcher in front of the casual gray concrete cosmetic columns.

And anyway, it's time to show your colors, also on the street, where everything is supposed to be greener anyway.

Silver, black and white are still the most popular car colors on the new car, should it arrive this year.

Which is not so self-evident, because the Russians are known to see red and therefore tear chains in all possible places.

Wherever things are delivered, the sympathies are redistributed with spring freshness.

Plus 26 percent, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, color climber of the year.

Everything in the green.

Happy New!
