Gas rise's by 12.4% Now thats A FUCKIN PRICE RISE. I forsee lots of frozen OAPS sucking on urine lollys this winter. How can they possible explain such a hike?
I think its something to do with our gas running out and us(UK) buying it from some other country. Sorry that thats a bit vauge but I saw it on the news a while back.
Gas running out my arse. If we collected all our farts in jars we'd have enough to run our homes for a good quarter of the year. It'd fucking stink if we had a gas leak though
No gas in the brid household 500 quid electricity bill for some reason though Another bullshit excuse to raise prices basically, lack of any competition means nobody can do diddly squat about it - same with the water board and those fuckers applying to the government to allow em to tack an extra X% onto everyones bills to cover some upgrades they expect us to finance. Another day in the UK eh
What you dont use ANY gas?!?!?! How do you heat the place???? This is something I thought about but I thought all combis needed gas??!?!
All the appliances are electric - its quite common in rented places Ceiling heating, Electric Boiler, Hob etc. etc. etc.
Re: Gas rise's by 12.4% Prices for the OAP's are to be frozen, excuse the pun! They reckon the prices for gas from over seas has went up over 50%!
Gas is used to produce Electricity so naturally it will effect it! British Gas has been the first to raise the prices the others will "follow suite"
Oil prices have been rocketing to record levels, which affect gas prices. Wholesale gas prices (what your supplier pays the gas producer) have shot up by around 28% on last year, and gas futures prices for next year are up by a further 25%. Therefore a 12.4% increase by British Gas on your bills isn't really too bad. Most suppliers will be following suit and putting up their prices, but probably not until the new year. Electricity prices are going up because around a third of electricity produced comes from gas fired power stations, so an increase in gas prices will feed through to electricity prices. Not only that, but the spare capacity margin in electricity (ie how much we can produce compared to how much we demand) is getting tighter, meaning that prices will go up.
