Welcome to the real world Companies. We've been squealing for a very long time over the price of fuel whether it be Gas, Electricty or Petrol and Diesel at the pumps. The difference is we are not able to protect our 'profits' because most of us don't have any! Just lets you see how these people operate doesn't it? Put the price up yippeee! Be forced to cut the price and hey hang on, get rid of staff quick! What say you members? Has your Utility Bill been cut by 30% due to costs spiral downhill? I doubt it, but E-On has apparently offered 3% or thereabouts. What about the other 27%? |

We filled the car up yesterday an even though I had 20 pence a litre off at Tesco, before the saving was taken off I did notice a big drop in the price of a full tank of petrol. That said I do wonder when the household utility bills will be coming down in line with petrol and diesel. |

If Mr Salmond had succeeded in his wishes, it would have been interesting to know what he would have done about the collapse of the oil price. |
