Thumbs up Gas Prices on way down?
Scottish Power reduce tariff by 10% on their fixed price offering - rivals are expected to follow suit.

Good job, as my heating is on 24 hours right now!

BIG TIP :-

When you read the meter for your next bill, read it very low ....... then, when prices have dropped in spring read it high.

Saved me a fortune over the years

Russia rumoured to be halting all gas transit supplies to Ukraine. Which is a bit of a bummer for Europe, who source 4/5ths of their gas via this route...
