We pay a lot because we burn special golden gas which they import directly from Mars and use electric which is made from crushed diamonds. Apparantly.

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
That's still a lot considering you live in the tropical south. I feel much better about my £170 quarterly gas bill now.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI pay £150 per month for gas and electric. But its a 4 bed, 3 reception room house. with lots of electrical appliances. and a double bath. and air conditioning.
PS what is a double bath, is it for orgies?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I got a response from EON today - something about F'off, we'll do what we want and we have no plans to reduce prices.Comment

on the flip side it is getting harder and therefore more expensive for exploration, licensing, facilitation and processing of oil & gas as its running out and getting harder to find good sources (hence the antarctic oil fields uproar).
what would happen if they reduced prices and ran out of money trying to find and farm more sources?Comment

I moved into a new flat at the end of Nov, its got no central ehating, only runs on electric.
God knows what my bills will be like, but i hope they have been somewhat protected from the craziness in gas prices. At present I am paying the same with EDF as is charged by Ecotricity, so I may well switch to the greener kind of stuff once my first quarterly bill is in.
Last year, 1 bed flat, dual fuel was paying on average £35 a month to heat it, which was super duper.
Whats going on now is insaneComment

As the cost to them has fallen ....It's criminal that they are not now lowering prices as fast as they put them up.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
