Hi Mark,
I have just posted on the main forum about me trying to get a CMA investigation into Google and it's policies:

Yesterday some words which avaraged 30-35pppc have shot up and on some campaigns i am being charged £2.40+ per click...
No doubt anyone with a business knoews that like it or loathe it we are trapped into using Adwords.
My real issue is the totally opaque and arbitrary way that Google loots my bank account. For over 3 years my mobile orientated adds have averaged 32p per click in the last 6 weeks this has crept...
