SIR – Using the usual lame excuse of rising wholesale gas prices and reinvestment costs, our energy providers once again have shown a complete disregard for their customers.
It is almost as if they are all laying in wait for one of their cohorts to announce an increase before all joining in. The more sceptical among us may even be tempted to think that there is some kind of agreement between them all, but that would be illegal, wouldn’t it?
Shortly after the latest obscene British Gas increase, our Prime Minister and Energy Minister have suggested we purchase our energy from a cheaper supplier!
If either of these fools can tell us which of the energy companies is not also going to increase their prices by a similar amount, we will all gladly join them.
