Simple question, how can Martin and this site keep a straight face while banging on about how me simply must have financial education in schools while publishing misleading rubbish that confuses people about money even more like this:

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/utilities/2010/11/british-gas-profits-up-as-it-hammers-families-with-price-hikes?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=sidebar&utm_campaign=box

The headline on the link clearly states that it is British Gas making profits and clearly implying it is 'hitting families', it's only if you actually analyse the details of the article you discover that it is the parent company Centrica making more profit, without any detail in the article that gives any conclusive proof whatsoever that British Gas is profiteering on fuel prices - it is possible they are, however your research can give no such conclusion.
