British Gas has just announced it's profits. £992.000.000.00, poor things. No wonder they have to put their prices by another 35%. How much profit do theses gits want.

With the hike in Utilities prices generally, perhaps we'll all need to find other ways of keeping warm next winter.

I'd try jogging, but I don't think my knee joints would take the strain!

Who knows, maybe mind boggling might do the trick :lol:

The government is considering a windfall tax (like they imposed when they first came into power in 1997) but I don't think it will work as the energy companies will probably further increase prices to compensate adding to the inflation problem and increasing fuel poverty.

Also I am cynical as to the governments intention to help the poor and think that it is more likely to be used to plug their multi-billion 'black hole' at the Treasury!

They might also consider moving their headquarters out of the UK like some of the other companies have done, like Shire pharmaceuticals
