Right then who can explain this to me?
I get my gas (and electric) from British Gas, one of my neighbour get’s his supplied by Scottish Power and the lady further up the street gets hers from Eon.
Now as far as I know it all comes up the same pipe on our street from the same gas reservoir or storage facility. When my central heating boiler clicks on is doesn’t send a signal to some munchkin deep in the bowels of the earth and he goes “Uh oh the P47 household needs a slug of gas” and sends it down the pipe to me as a special delivery.
So why the different prices, surely the price should be the same for everybody?
All the big six talk about they need the profits to invest in the infrastructure and all that guff, why?? they all share the same flipping pipes and tanks.
