Pent Up Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Don't worry because it's cost push inflation which means it doesn't matter, no action need be taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomandlu Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Scottish power announcement today. This will help our inflation target Indeed it will - I'd just wish they'd come clean and say what the target is... this is all going to end very badly IMHO. This country's citizens better find some balls soon, or the majority are going to end up as underpaid serfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papag Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Its on Sky news now they say other power companies could be announcing higher increases than this in the next few weeks Should help the recent round of public sector wage negotiations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@contradevian Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Bonuses all round! Make mine a double. No doubt if wages jumped 10% let alone 19, Merv would suddenly become less vigilant and hike de old interest rates, innit.

Wait & See Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Merv's plan is working a treat. Instead of making the feckless mortgage holders pay with ir rises, he wants the whole country to pay with rampant inflation. We're all in it together, even though I've never had a fecking mortgage. What a business this all is. Savers, the debt free, renters, under 24's all get a kicking to bail out the dirty b4stards who thought house prices only ever go up. Sickening!!

tinker Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 WTF! We've had these sort of rises for a decade now. If only we had a regulator to put the customer first. It would be economic meltdown, if only we could afford the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papag Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 No one apart from Bankers and those on Benefits are getting anything like inflation rises, it is really all getting out of hand just glad its only temporary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had to have our central heating on twice this week (second week of June) because it's been so cold. eight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you cannot refute it, as the climate will always change, whereas 'global warming' was obviously a load of ********. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't ever remember having to do this in June before Meanwhile the BBC keeps saying it is the warmest june on record ???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosh Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 It`s getting to the stage where paying £30 a month to join a gym to have daily showers, shave, clean teeth etc, will be cheaper than showering at home. If you are at the gym you are not using gas and electricity at home and if you really can be bothered.. Keep fit as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eight Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Bah you can afford to turn it on, I've not turned the heating on since..... ever I also shower at the gym too. When you say "afford", it's nearly £200/month combined for the gas and electric. No doubt somebody will be along to tell me I'm doing something wrong in a minute as their combined bills only come to £3.50 and yet they're still £50 in credit.... Fortunately thanks to buying before the madness our mortgage is only £75 a month. eight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are at the gym you are not using gas and electricity at home and if you really can be bothered.. Keep fit as well £30! I pay a ten quid a month. Its not exactly the most modern gym but all the machines work and it doesn't smell of stale old sweat. Its supposed to be over subscribed but I don't see this because I go at the crack of dawn and its just me and two old men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistbear Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Scottish power announcement today. This will help our inflation target With no regulation they can charge whatever they like. Oh yes, and Ofcom. or whoever the consumer watchpuppy is. will say its a bit dear buit that will be the end of it. 19% will be the start of a summer hiking frenzy regardless of wholesale markets.
