My prediction of when our gas & electric will decrease in price...

...Spring 2009. Or, in other words, when the cold snap is over. Co-incidence? :rotfl: That's unless the Govt really decide (for once!) to get hold of these greedy swines and MAKE them put down prices before. Certainly people who know much more than I (and, I suspect, much more than the self-appointed experts/energy industry apologists on here :rolleyes: ) are saying that prices should be coming down NOW. Allan Asher (ex head of energywatch) believes the average bill could reduce by £400 NOW if there was REAL competition in the industry and not we have now - 'passive collusion'.

HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??

    The Government wont do anything, so don't get your hopes up for some help there. When those bills start hitting the door mats in Feb/Mar/Apr next year and unemployment starts rising towards 2 million, then some of the MP's might start making some noise. They really don't have a clue as to how bad things are already let alone next year.
  • My gut reaction is the same. I'm thinking April before we see any price reductions.
