Fluctuations of Sterling against the Euro(and other currencies) must be taken into account.


However is it 'Rip off Britain' or 'Rip off Europe' or neither!

    "Prices are shown on a Purchasing Power Standards basis, which strips out the impact of exchange rates, giving a more accurate comparison of prices"

    I think a lot of our high energy bills in this country are due to poor quality housing/insulation and also a lack of understanding on how to use energy wisely by the general public.
