I swapped from them to a fixed price plan (fixed until end of Aug-09) with someone else on Saturday. Was going to save me about £10 a month, now even more. :smug:

I went to scottish power on friday night..... hopefully the right move. I'll know for sure when EON do their rise.Visit uswitch.com, I did!
Can someone answer me this.
The gas companies say "Oh, wholesale prices have gone up by "x" therefore your bills are going up by "x" to compensate". However. Surely the actual variable cost of their gas is only a small portion of them running a business with all the associated fixed costs? Therefore, when they put the bill up by "x" they are taking the piss becvause "x" is only a small proportion of their overall costs?
Or am I talking out of my arse?

There's a lot more to come, this is just the start.
Energy costs are going to continue to rise if leftist fools - or the Camoronic equivalent - continue to thieve our money on the feeble excuse of junk science coupled with glandular excretions and then waste it on pointless and useless white elephant eyesores.
The EU windymill policy foisted on us by Incapability Brown will cost each family a further £300+ on bills and taxes in every year up to 2027 (so it will almost certainly not happen) and that's if current estimates of windymill finances are anywhere near the truth, and not including inflation.

How does the MMGW policy of the government affect the prices charged by British Gas? Surely they are largely determine by the wholesale price of gas.Energy costs are going to continue to rise if leftist fools - or the Camoronic equivalent - continue to thieve our money on the feeble excuse of junk science coupled with glandular excretions and then waste it on pointless and useless white elephant eyesores.

Are you predicting furhter increase in the wholesale (if that's right term) prices of gas and oil? I thought the prices had been dropping of late, although they probably will never return to the prices of last year.Gassing Station | The Pie & Piston Archive | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
