A vile stain that our Royal family can’t wash out. She’s trashy, she’s a liar, she’s dangerous as well.
She has one of the worst traits a person can have, hypocrisy. Wants to be out of the public eye and is furious the papers paid her so much attention when joining the most famous family in the world!
Then they ****ed off to America and they have sold their life to anyone willing to pay!
Wonder what part of that article made the chronicle think it was newsworthy?
Not saying it isn't newsworthy, but if they weren't our shirt sponsor, they wouldn't give it the time of day.
Can't seem to recall they made much of a fuss last week when Saudi Arabia announced they were to continue giving the death penalty to teenagers.
Strange that.
They must have searched the Web for it. Like you say, they can not comment on anything to do with right and wrong considering who they champion.
I think you will find this is much worse!
This is nothing compared to the hypocrisy of going ape **** about zero hours contracts handed out by Mike Ashley but not wanting to separate themselves away from what the current lot do outside if the club
Zero Hour contracts which they would have had the same problem with if they were sat at the top of the league and spending 200million on transfers each window cause zero hour contracts are the worst and had nothing to do with their lack of success and spending honest!
Can anyone explain the price cap in a bit more detail. They say the cap is £3549 but then say if you use more you pay more, is it not better to say your unit price has gone up from X price to Z price?
I have read an article this morning which was clear as mud.
It read as
It comes into effect from Oct 1st to Dec 31st when it is predicted to rise again.
24m households will be in this price cap and some will pay more but no idea who but could reach £10 k per annum???
Average price will rise from £1,971 to £3,594. (Remember this is average price)
Pre payment meter customers ( no idea) bills set to average £3,600.
Not sure if that helps or possibly scares the crap out of people.
But basically some will pay less and some will pay more based on your usage l guess.
Like you say clear as mud, I’d read that and was more confused than when I started, so in reality there is no cap you just pay for what you use?
The price cap is the maximum unit price of energy charged to a household consuming an average amount of energy. It's not the maximum amount every household will pay. So, if you burn a higher number of units than the average, your annual energy bills will be more than the cap.
I reckon it's deliberately confusing Rooch, I have just been compensated for a complaint to Shell Energy and I had to do quite a bit of reading to understand how bills are calculated. I did accuse them of deliberate obfuscation and they never responded so that tells me I was right.

Do you know or have a rough idea in monetary terms how much gas and electric is the standing charge per day
Now and
Estimated in January
Cheers
Read what you’ve said mate and I admit I must be thick, as it still makes no sense to me
I also don't understand the cap -- but a bit of info.
My electric supplier Eon inform me that Ofgem (who we thought were on our side) are actually a govt department who work with and alongside the companies to set the price on ''a business basis''. To me , setting prices from the business point of view can only mean maximising profits. This came from me asking them to justify a 125% increase on the standing charge. Their justification was to just list what the charge is spent on. I then pointed out that if I continue to buy the same amount of the same electricity ,whatever the product price, i will not be using , asking for or be given 125% more pipes and cables, nor will their workers who work on the infrastructure be getting a 125% pay rise. I doubt wether their investment in green projects will increase, and if they were going to increase contributions to govt initiatives to provide heat for the poor, then I'm sure we would have heard the govt shouting it from the rooftops. All this extra is going straight into their pocket. Ofgem have given their blessing to what is pure profiteering.-- they assume that when people look at the figure at the bottom of the bill, they assume it's all down to market price.
Their CEO, (whos words were virtually copied this week by the EDF Ceo, and who both reckon they are experts in the domestic finances of every Uk household, despite both being non British), have said they want the govt to give more money to customers to help them . (give OUR money from OUR public purse of course, which we will have to one day repay) . An attempt to get the govt to ensure bills are paid, their income stream to profit is not interrupted so roll on their big bonus rise. If they wanted to help, then cancel the 125% standing charge rise.
Our lass has just explained what you wrote and it’s making a bit more sense now, a bit
Cheers Gelders, I am all for stopping my direct debit if other people are willing to, let the bastards sweat for it and pay just before they threaten you with court and then do it again.
I'll join you mate. They won't half be sweating when they realise it's us and remember how it was our actions which got the petrol price down.
Does anybody else live with one of these in their village or town.
It’s called a spite wall, if you don’t get in with your neighbour you slap one of these up over their windows.

We are not a capped household and presently thanks to the wife who decided in Dec to pay more than our supplier recommended and currently £600 plus in credit which will get swallowed up in winter no doubt.
We will receive some money from government to help with payment as l understand that will be £60 toward the electric bill until that runs out.
Our Smart meter is good to know how we are doing.
I am surprised that Parliament has not been recalled, and the Tories cannot push through an election of it's leader now and crack on.
We now take no gas from Russia, and if we fracked gas from Lancashire and use 20% it would last until 2050 approx, l am not in favour at all.
We should of invested in Neuclear energy many years ago new housing should have heat pumps and solar panels by law not planning permission.
About 30% of our energy come from regenerated means and needs too be much higher.
It is now being reported that Russia is burning off gas near the Finnish boarded, that is environmentally obscene.
