The Bills, the bills . . .

I live in Balham and I’ve just randomly been switched from edf energy to British gas. Now, I was perfectly happy with edf energy, my showers were hot, my telly switched on, and I paid a set amount each month.

But, apparently, edf energy weren’t supplying my gas. Shock, horror, the utilities companies have screwed it once more. So here I am, a couple of weeks later, with a big phone bill for the tiresome admin, same hot showers, same telly switching on, yet with a different company billing me. Curious.

The most annoying thing, actually, is that it will now work out as more expensive for me to be supplied with gas and electricity, because I negotiated a good deal six months ago. And in the current economic climate coupled with the current deep freeze settling over England, I wonder how I’m going to cope over the winter months. Big jumpers, methinks.
