Fake warden imposes Spoof Charges on Brits

Relish, London’s wireless broadband provider, has launched a humorous new video, which sees one fake council warden impose a series of spoof charges on unsuspecting residents of the Capital.

Dressed head-to-toe in jobsworth attire, Relish’s imposter warden took to the streets of London and asked the public to pay ludicrous fees for all sorts of free-time activities, whether it was clamping down on tourist selfies at Westminster Bridge or charging joggers for the right to run in a London park.

The filming, captured via hidden camera, has been commissioned by Relish to highlight the ridiculous hidden charges imposed on consumers by broadband providers and to encourage Brits to be vigilant to the extra charges being passed onto them for their broadband service.

The news comes following a newly published report by the UK Government, called A better deal, which stipulates that consumers should understand ‘the full cost of a contract’ and should not be misled by teaser rates for broadband.

Will Harnden, Chief Marketing Officer at Relish, said: “Our video, although intentionally light-hearted, demonstrated that people do feel aggrieved and confused if they are hit with unexpected charges and price hikes. As Brits face more cost increases in the coming months, we hope the message in the video encourages customers to check the terms of their broadband contract before they sign it!”
