Powergen: Electricity up 18.5%, Gas up 24.5%!!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4758032.stm
Was expected I suppose, but some people must be starting to feel the pinch a bit now surely??!
Petrol, gas, electricity, council tax all showing BIG rises every year for the last few years now
Wages havent been increasing anywhere near fast enough...
Funny how the governments massaged inflation figures are still around 2% tho...
