The whole energy crisis thing

Smallman1

whatever Barry Manilow blaring, you dressed up in your showgirl outfit with a troupe of men, tops off, attempting to plug the holes in your roof so you can stay warm?

Lol!

Hursty

benson well yes in that kind of snapshot, but I was talking more generally, the crazy gains which are attributed to crypto

What tariff? I’m with Octopus on Flexible Octopus.

For years now everything we buy on contract is really consumer sort of FUD by design. No-one knows if they are getting a decent deal.

For energy alone…I wouldn’t be surprised if the same tariffs attract different charges to different people. How are you getting cheaper electricity at night? I thought that needed an Economy 7 meter or something? I’ve only just found out that they are an actual thing.

ehitach2 I have octopus go. Fixed for 2 years. Was supposed to be 1 but they forgot to tell me it was coming to an end so gave me another year on it.

gcw

ehitach2 I’m on Co-op Flexible as well

I must have an energy 7 meter, as I have day and night tariffs. The night tariff is from midnight to 7am

I was on a fixed deal with them which ended just before the energy cap being lifted and the (proper case…) Flexible Octopus tariff was really the only option. Or that is how they presented it but it seemed sensible.

I’m going to compare how it is with what @gcw has posted.

Anyway, as you were everyone else, on your sleazy cocaine marathons and general delinquent decline into the weekend.

Mind you, this foam spray insukation thing might come back and shit us up. Nice and toastie but need to replace the roof.

I got an offer for electricity where the price gets checked every four months, and until April it’s 30 c/kwh. We’ve been on a deal since the start of November where the pricing is hourly, and according to electricity’s market price. Yesterday it went over 70 c/kwh for awhile in the afternoon. So now I feel like I’ve won the lottery.

Before November we had a fixed price of 7 c/kwh.

Shell’s profits double to $40bn. Absolutely nothing to worry about here. Inflation my fucking cunt.

Are the cunts paying tax on it yet? No.

Christian

100% increase from last year

Christian 100% increase from last year

I believe that’s what I meant when I said profits doubled.

I’ve worked at Shell in the past and they have about three floors in their HQ dedicated to effectively tax avoidance.

Cankles-McJeggings

If you taxed that 40 billion alone you’d more than likely be able to completely sort all the strike action in all sectors.

Hursty

I’ve spent £900 on energy for Dec and Jan, might be cheaper to run the house on this Prime energy drink?

Christian

Along_the_Wire ha ha sorry was a bit early

Fucking LOL.

Another day, another record profit published for an energy company…

Good to know all our hard earned cash is lining the pockets of the top execs and shareholders with a bumper haul

Not only that, taxpayers currency is going into that pot, which is borrowed of course and will have to be paid back

Along_the_Wire

Hursty Wait til the supermarket profit results start coming out. Rising costs my fucking stinking shit-hole.

Homegrove

Along_the_Wire the people here working in the supermarkets (cashiers etc) just got a big raise. I think the companies after record profits thought wisely that fighting striking employers making barely 2K a month (with weekend pays etc) might look bad.

Along_the_Wire AHOLD reported 2,5 Billion in profits over the last year.
