I think you've just ruined someone's Christmas, those pink specs have definately been smashed!

Far from it... I'm a rate tart and thick skinned.
I've been on this planet far too too long to let politics (even thogh Ed Balls is a clueless prize knob) get in way of cheap electricity and The Coop is still cheapest for me.
Indirectly the cheaper electricity and dividends is a small way of getting back some of my hard earned taxes that Brown !!!!!! up the wall for 13 years.. so it's still made my Christmas! (My rose tinted glasses have reinforced glass! ) (aka I have no principles when it comes to my own money!!!)
Cheers folks... have a good one. :beer:

Just to remind you that the problems of current situation was due to the Conservative government under Margaret Thatcher selling off our utilities on the pretence to inject competition in the energy market but look on the bright side of things the city made a killing.

Perhaps the pink coloured spectacles were left over from 1989 and do not forget we are all in it together now :rotfl::xmassmile

Happy Xmas

But do the co-op actually trade electric and gas or are they simply a re-seller/shop window for another supplier?

I go for the cheapest..

to all those with coop energy, i presume you can enter your energy readings online? If so, does their system give you an automatically generated bill based on your latest readings like most other companies do?

Unfortunately I am a NPower customer with an outstanding balance so at the moment I can't switch to CoOp Energy, but as soon as I am free of the Fat Cat shackles of NPower, I'm switching and urge EVERYONE to do the same.

Why?

The company is owned 100% by customers, so its the next best thing to re nationalising electricity. No fat cats, and if they make a big profit the customers get it back in dividends. If you have Twitter, facebook please pass it on, if thousands switched to them bills would get cheaper and it would bring Npower (who got fined 2million pound recently for shocking customer care) or should that be couldnt care less and the other foreign owned multi national corporations to their knees. :T:T

SO FOR 2012 GET POWERED BY PEOPLE POWER FROM CO-OP ENERGY. :j:jBy the way they're not paying me to write this, I just think it sounds like everything I have been looking for from a power supplier and think it would also suit many other people who have run ins with these big utility companies and would prefer to pay their money to a company owned by customers.

Get switching here -

Im with OVO energy, (not part of the BIG SIX rippoff companies) anyway ive done the sums, and if i were to switch to coop energy i would be paying 11.84p per kilowatt of Electricity compared to the 8.15p for leccy i currently pay ( my service charges would be 1p less per year) @£62.99 so as near as you can get, the same.

As for gas with coop energy i would be charged 3.77p per kw of gas compared to OVO charging me 2.90p per kw of gas and the service charge is exactly the same @£60.00 per year.

So to conclude with coop energy id be £271.62 worse off for my Electric (i ve used 7,361 kw in 12 months) and be worse off by £66.97p for my gas if i went to coop ( i ve used 7,698 kw of gas)

Yes, i still look around for the best deal by the way and so far ovo cant be beat! :money:

That old Blame Maggie for everything chestnut.:rotfl:

People seem to forget Labour had thirteen years to put right all her mistakes as they had thumping majorities but chose not to as Blair and Brown were just as much in love with The City and the Bankers.

Persoanlly I blame the Romans. ... But maybe that's one for the political forum.

Personally I blame the Germans if they had won in 45 then we would have at least some manufacturing left in this country, and cheaper gas and electric.

I do not wish to turn this thread into a political debate but feel I must respond to your accusation

Is that not what you were doing with your snide comments about Gordon Brown that old chestnut !It was not a worldwide recession after all then was it .
And just to refresh your memory again did you forget the NHS was very close to collapse in 1997 .:eek:

But lets keep it on topic I would of thought another player in the energy market would be good news if you do not like the fact that the co-operative movement sponsors MPs take your energy custom elsewhere but how do you think the Tory party get there funds to run there election campaigns .

Both the Labour and Conservative party are to blame for the financial mess we are in. Over the years they have squandered our oil money, sold-off what could have been (with a bit of re-jigging) highly-profitable utilities providers, privatised the transport system and miss-handled the banks. That's why I support the English Democrats.
