Lichfield Dean Posted July 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2023 I've had the oven on, the grill on, food ready, chargers available, loud music and lights and everything ready for the best party ever and not one of you turned up. Not one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted July 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2023 It really bothers me that not everybody benefits from this kind of thing. Surely if there's an excess of power being generated then the whole country should benefit from it. It's just all so totally messed up isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted July 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2023 Car plugged in, lights on, electric gadgets on, washing machine going. All to try and earn probably 20p from the excess energy production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Ofgem lowers the proce cap £150 but prices stay high because of the bullshit standing charge. Director of Ofgem was just on the telly box, when asked if Ofgem are of any use anymore the director answered, "we make sure the bills go down as quick as they go up". So I guess **** all.

What he meant to say was "how else do I get my kickbacks from the big companies". We are told this country isn't corrupt, but our laws make it so they don't have to be. They can legally shaft is, and do every **** day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 The government leaned on them and asked them to explain the prices, and the gap between petrol and diesel. Prices then miraculously came down. Fast forward a couple of months and the prices are back up again. Absolute cretins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Europe has been aiming to have gas storage reserves as 90% full by Oct 31st ready for the winter season. They just hit 90% full by end of August, so hopefully that should mean stable gas prices during winter assuming a mild winter like last time. Errrm except the UK which doesn't really have much storage facilities for gas as we closed most of them down over the last 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saved a ton of money though. You must have noticed the big drop in your tax payments from the savings? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
