I told British Gas what my friends were paying & I thought that there was a fault with mine, they said that they couldn't comment because every house is different


I might start having a nosey around, then tell BG to FO myself. I want to find them to be wrong so that I can sue thier as$es for over charging me for so long.



I had a couple of estimated readings last year, but the last 2 or 3 have been readings that I have done myself.

We've also only got gas on a boiler that heats water for hot water supply & radiators. Gas bill is quite high (I think £250+ last quarter) but the unit price has gone up a lot. I can't argue with the readings, that's for sure.

I might take a couple of days with the boiler completely off to see if the meter is going up still. If not, then I will look at how much gas the boiler *should* be consuming per hour at the settings I've got, and tally that back against the meter's readings.

It might be worth you trying something similar - BG prices (btw I am also with BG) aren't particularly high, they are actually not too bad. So you might just find yourself with the same trouble elsewhere!

I have complained to British Gas, but they say it is normal & I can have my meter checked by an "independent adviser" for £70.
Going on the "comparison websites" it says that I am a "high" user. Something isnt right somewhere & I WILL get to the bottom of it

Dude this was on BBC Watchdog a while back, where they are using the wrong unit of measure for your meter. Worth checking if you have a cubic foot meter and they charging you for a cubic metre meter! See this:-

to top it all off i got home from work today to a £380 water bill

Ouch - that really smarts dont it ?

We were paying £60 per month DD for gas + elec, then at Xmas they put it up to £175 pm ....just like that...for a one bed flat.......so we did all the meter readings eytc, turned out the estimate was under ....the bills have more than doubled over the last year, but yours is out of all proprtion.....

I wonder if the downstairs dole queue dweller is tapping into our supply, but its hard to prove....you may have an issue like that....

or your sons got a hydroponic grow in the cellar...
