"The energy company Npower is raising its prices for domestic customers for the second time this year, blaming rises in wholesale prices.
Electricity and gas prices are set to rise by an average of 13.4% and 15% respectively, Npower has announced.

This follows its price rises of 13.6% for electricity and 14.5% for gas which took place in January.

",


feck's sake, raising prices for the _second_ time this year ! and it's only March !

already raised by 13% in January, and going up again by 13%

I wonder if this will have any effect on the official inflation figures

Should do people's disposable incomes the world of good

Nice.

I remember that post too. Quite odd. It's probably been removed for its overtly terrorist tone.
