Don't know if anyone has use a multimeter on their elec recently but our "240V" system is actually only 220V. The bastards snuck in an 8% drop in voltage and hoped nobody would notice.bloggoth

Then there are genuinely different use cases so for one person a higher £/KWh with lower standing price is cheaper, etc.
Plus fixed rates which are just like fixing your mortgage.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostBritish gas margins are 5% hardly greedy. The problem is that people are too lazy to shop around and look for the lowest prices. They prefer to moan instead, and this stupid government (who like labour have no understanding of how business works) pander to it.
In the first half of the current year, the margin earned by British Gas - that is profit as a percentage of sales - was 7.2%, compared with 6.9% in the first six months of last year, and 8.9% in the whole of 2010.
Looking around for the lowest prices; as someone pointed out is a waste of time, they are much of a muchness and as they fluctuate between cheapest and most expensive, any savings are soon wiped out. The whole system is no better than a price fixing cartel.Last edited by ZARDOZ; 19 October 2012, 10:10.Comment
