I have a gas account with British Gas and they have just left on my doorstep 4 free energy saving lightbulbs as a "Thankyou" for being a customer. Apart from the fact I have about 20 of these from various companies, I don't have an electricity account with them....

I've just asked for them to reduce my bill instead of sending me these bulbs through the customer complaints area of their website (Which took me ages to find!)

On one hand they put up my price by 29%, on the other, they waste my money on this rubbish.

Great scam - put your bill up by an extra £500 per year, and give you a couple of quids worth of bulbs in return. Bargain with custard!

They've been taking lessons off Gordon Brown obviously.

The energy efficient bulbs only fit a couple of the holders I have, they don't fit the other 20 or 30 or however many there are.
