British gas has reported a big fall in profits

[andy222]

They only made £1.75 billion.:bigcry:.

I do feel sorry for them. :icon_rolleyes:

Watch your bills rise soon!

[SimonH]

Yep they only employ about 30,000 people and pay £1 Billion a year in tax :cwm25:


You can't have it both ways :wink:

[andy222]

Watch your bills rise soon!

Even one of the bosses of British Gas has said people would be better off switching from them.

They pay £1 billion in tax? Really? :wink:

That's ridiculous, Rosie. Just another rise on the cost of living.

Thats ridiculous Rosie. Just another rise on the cost of living.

Unfortunately, that side of the business will be unregulated so they can do as they please and without interference from the Regulator, Ofgas

[andy222]

They can ALL hike the prices up Rosie, and they already have done.

I think British Gas prices are very reasonable! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[andy222]

They would be even more reasonable if they shared out a bit of the profits to customers. And that goes for all of the 'BIG 6'.
