British Gas, Rip-Off Merchants

[Snake Diamond]

Talk about Rip-Off Merchants, a "Division" of British Gas (Centrico, i think thats how they are named) released its annual profits record recently...


?1.4 Billion Pounds PROFIT

Now British Gas has decided to increase its Rates/Charges to its customers by, get this, 22%.

Now if any1 needs to beaten with a giant rancid Whale, the Bosses of British Gas deserve it, BASTARDS..... !swear!




Yes, we have British Gas as our Supplier !furious!

[chatterji]

It's true, but aren't they offering a price-freeze to customers for the next three years?

[Snake Diamond]

Also, we are having difficulty with our Supply of Gas in this area, & BG have said that they will not do anything, unless some1 pays for a new feed from the main line. Supposedly about a mile away from here, costing approx about ?49,000.00. !furious!

Why? Because our area is supposedly at the maximum, for what they consider sufficient, in this area !furious! !swear!

[Snake Diamond]

Yeah, AFTER the Initial increase of 22% first...

[davewells]

Twisted twats ! Shouldn't be allowed to put up prices.

[Snake Diamond]

Latest Update, the company (Centrico, or whatever their fucking lame ass is called) has just been on the radio, stating that, Yes they did recieve an annual profit of ?1.4 Billion Pounds PROFIT, but that does not affect their need to increase Charges for customers.

They reckon the price hike is due to increased fuel consumption, lack of available British based fuel supplies, & maintenance costs over the last 6 months.

Yes British gas is owned by Centrica, and BG say they had to put up their prices because their supplier has increased their charges and their supplier of course is Centrica, but Centrica protest that the law forbids them from selling gas to BG at subsidised prices, so maybe the Goverment should change the law but i expect it wouldnt make any difference as this is Rip off Britain and this goverment couldnt care a shit.

I think we are in for a tough few years ahead in terms of tax, energy bills (petrol as well), council tax and general living expensives. I don't think we will have known it as hard as its going to be.



That villa in southern spain gets nearer each day !
