Are we, the British public, that daft that we are continuing to be ripped off, by companies that are only interested in profit, they said because oil went up by over 60% they upped our bills by silly amounts and we paid, but now the price for oil is now less than half of what it was 6 months ago, but NO price decreases by all the gas and electric companies
Why do we continue to accept this, I have changed my supplier, but the new company is STILL well above prices 6 months ago?
old know all
Oil is the fuel for all of it!!!
they won’t lower tariffs, and that’s because they are thieving feckin bstards, who will get as much money out of us as possible, same as the bankers or should that read wankers.

Gouge gouge gouge……that’s all they know how to do.

Because they don’t make gas and electricity out of petrol. The wholesale price of gas is coming down, but it’s likely to lag behind oil by a few weeks. Then one of the energy companies will break ranks to try to steal the others’ business.

Ah yes, well unfortuantely it goes on supply and demand and cost, and what people fail to realise is that unless we adopt a similar plan like and I hate to say it, the French, in nuclear power, then we we all continue to face ever increasing bills. Why, well its al due to those wonderful European charges, you know the little things to do with the environment.

The gas companies buy the gas months in advance the same applies to electricity suppliers so you are still paying for the energy they bought months ago

My own research
What i don’t understand is why everyone complains before they do something about it, and i don’t mean something like changing suppliers or writing constantly letters to get prices lowered i mean using less of the over priced resources or considering alternative fuels.

Because they’re bloody greedy bastards.

The Gas and Electricity companies are using the excuse already mentioned. They bought their stock when it was at a high price, so we customers have to pay for it.
We should re-nationalise the lot of them.

I agree with you paul. Why have the Utilities gone through the roof.

I agree with LBJ. Also they don’t care about the consumers because thanks to the ‘I’m all right Jack society’ born of Thatcher; they sold their souls a long time ago and won’t be the ones in need of woolly jumpers. We have to change and beat them at their own game and stop complaining and refusing alternative methods. Unfortunately it won’t affect their greedy pockets now…

because we’ve began to pay this high price so technically, we can afford to. So they’ll carry on.
I’m in a state of mild shock at the moment because my mortgage has dropped due to the recent interest rates alteration.
And THAT’S never happened before!!
