That is not all British gas stitch you up with, there heating, servicing and breakdown insurance is the most expensive, they don't do a 'service' now, rather an 'inspection' which means exactly what it says, they look at the appliance, nothing taken apart and cleaned as it should be, the breakdown insurance is supposed to have an annual 'inspection' included, but it went from 12 monthly, to 13 or 14 monthly, then eventually to the point where you have to ring THEM, or you don't get the inspection, they can get out of any repair, will tell you your boiler/fire is obsolete just because it isn't made anymore, don't tell you the parts will be available for years to come, I know a lady in accrington who got £560 'hush money' because she sussed them out. (she had help from somebody to suss them, don't know who
)
