British Gas profiteering

I'd still not breastfeed a nazi

A quote like that would be better as a link, so we can read it in context.

I mean are there any Nazis left now? The youngest must be in their 90s, although I guess they still need feeding

Have you posted this in the wrong thread?!

It doesn't take much intelligence to work out that Greece is poorer than the UK and has lower (if any) wages.
We are now building a proper perspective much to the annoyance of those who have already made their minds uup

are you saying that poorer countries have higher energy prices whilst richer countries have lower energy prices ?

I wonder what came first here, the chicken or the egg

Interesting when you factor the taxes in.
Germany paying more than UK overall, but purchases from market for far less than UK. The rest is tax.

In Sweden you might have a wood stove and triple glazing though.

In Nordic countries if you live in an apartment you have communal heating, which together with the triple glazing etc keeps the cost down.

I am making a point that compared to others what we pay for energy is not that high. The point I am also making is that if you are going to present profits to back up an argument these should be put into context - such as where those profits have been made and what percentage of the companies turnover those profits account for. When we then go on and decide whether we are being ripped off or not (and as far as I am concerned I simply cannot form an opinion) we will be better equipped with information which has some sort of perspective to it.
