clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk War veteran, 84, in suicide bid after energy firm hounded him for £6,600 that he didn't owe A war veteran driven to despair by soaring electricity prices tried to commit suicide when a power company broke into his home and installed a pre- payment meter he did not know how to use.  Walter Bargate, 84, swallowed 100 sleeping pills and painkillers after spending three freezing days without heating, lighting or cooking facilities in the middle of winter.
