Originally posted by leestaticYes. It was powergen though. They suddenly decided that instead of spreading the annual bill over 4 equal direct debits (so you overpay in summer and underpay in winter) they would whack all 4 instalments to the level of winter usage so you pay for what you've used in winter and just line their pockets in summer. Some powergen employee must have got a bonus for that idea. 😠
[b]Anyone else had a ridiculously stupid insanely priced gas bill?

if this is the case, i personally feel that you should not use your gas chamber in the winter, then use it to it's full capacity in the summer. see how they like it then!
