Why put down a successful British Company? Better British Gas made the profit then a German or French supplier.

In difficult economic times, Britain needs successful companies like British Gas. They are using profits tokeep the nation’s lights on in the future with clean power stations and wind farms. Continue providing secure jobs, British Gas has over 30,000 UK employees and growing. They help reduce the national deficit with the £400 million (how many nurses’ doctors and schools etc) they will contribute in tax in Britain this year alone.

Give back to there customers with free insulation, energy efficiency advice and for there essentials customers they have frozen prices over winter and given £50 cashback and now they do Nectar.

It’s important for us all to understand that only a third of there earnings come from energy sales to households – around £4 per household per month. There profits are much lower than in businesses such as BT, Vodafone or the water companies and for the second half of 2010 were the lowest they have been for a number of years.
You tell me what company makes that much per customer per month?
