Many years ago I was a BG customer, not anymore and I wouldn’t trust them, my personal opinion is they are akin to a cowboy outfit and their technical abilities in respect of repairs leaves a lot to be desired, this is based on a number of years experience as a customer of theirs. I am currently with Shell Energy, been with them since they took over First Utility about three years ago, so far no problems but waiting with bated breath when my three year fixed price contract expires at the end of June, expecting a huge increase in charges.

Had a similar thing from Flowgas, we have bulk LPG, saying we had enjoyed a fixed price tariff that was now no longer available even though the contract runs until early next year.

Flowgas are the worst company I have ever dealt with, they took over my MSF Gas account who were brilliant. As soon as my contract has finished I'll be switching.

My local council bought a half share in an energy company for £18 million, then lent it another £20 million. Guess what, it's gone bust, so local council tax payers are down £38 million

They also paid £30 million for a 1/3 share in a bank, whose value has dropped by half, so another £15 million loss. These combined come to £324 for every man woman and child in the town. Will this affect the bonusses received by the higher ups in the council admin? Don't be silly

No I'm not emigrating at my age!
