    It doesn't make any difference who you buy from, its all just one big cartel. They take it in turn to put up prices and ofgem is a sock puppet for the industry to give a pretence that there is some kind of authority governing what they do. They are just like the banks, a few wealthy individuals decide how much they can screw you for whilst collecting massive pay and bonuses.

    Your already with British Gas, owned by Centrica, a company quoted on the LSE.
    Companies are owned by their shareholders, the fact that a company is based in the UK does not mean that the majority of its shareholders are UK citizens, pension funds etc.
    You would do better by looking for the best value product for your needs. I'm backing Britain died with Bruce Forsyth.

    I'm guessing you don't drive a Morgan!
    Edit.
    Whoops , rightly pointed out M&S is SSE, as is Ebico.

    Is Bruce dead? When did that happen?:eek:
