Off-What? The New Breed Of Regulator...

There's been quite a bit of chat in the media today of Ofwat - the regulator of the water industry - after they imposed a massive fine on Severn Trent Water.

We have Ofcom that regulates the communications industry.

Ofgem regulates gas and energy markets - not to be confused with a regulator of jewellery.

And if Ofwat is water, should the travel industry be regulated by Ofwhere?

Apart from the ski-ing holiday industry, which should be regulated by Ofski.

Then we have the regulator of public schools and the upper classes - Oftoff - not to be confused with the health regulator - Ofcough.

And of course the regulator for deference - Ofdoff - but I like to leave that to them.

Can anyone else think of some good possible regulators?
