Would agree we must be close to a real recession the way shares are going down and confidence in the banking sector.

I would bet that other companies will follow NPower's lead

I thought someone mentioned on the radio that wholesale price of energy had gone up 60%

we have plenty of bloody gas but nowhere to store it so it goes to europe and sold back to us at a mark up which is just bloody typical of doormat Britain. Im with Npower but I bet a pound to a dollop of crap if I switch they will all up there rates and ill end up having to switch back again. Damn the government in this country for the last 35 years to hell. I love living here but the government are all idiots and everyone wanting to take up politics should be shot at dawn and people put in power cuz of levels of intelligence and common sense and not because they are power hungry pratts. And before you say why am I ranting on political its cuz if the government invested instead of sellings in Thatchers day and didnt join the bloody crap factory thats the common market things would be a whole lot better here

Yes, because if there's one thing Canada is famous for it's the lack of necessity for heating...

Not sure I follow that, myself.

Not any more, we don't, we produce less than we use, which means we need to buy it off someone else, which means the Russians these days, and they're currently writing historical textbooks praising Stalin, so you can see which way that's going...

We have plenty of coal, but no miners.

Canada is great, nice people, everywhere is clean, great mountains and countryside and no reliance on North Sea Gas.

Norway is good - some of the same attributes as Canada, nice people, etc - and an alternative to Russia for our gas supply :)
