Am I wrong in believing it’s called ‘gas and electricity’ and not ‘electric’?

There have been multiple threads discussing the cost of living crisis and every one states ‘gas and ELECTRIC’. I thought it would be ‘gas and ELECTRICITY’?

I genuinely am not being a grammar dick but I’m becoming confused as to whether I’ve been saying it incorrectly? Or is it one of those words where you can use either/or.

It didn't take long before the Americans got blamed. Mate, if you understand what is meant, why start a thread? Or should we all stand up and clap?

If you think the thread is pointless, why did you join it?

Because it irritated me. And I felt like expressing that. What is especially irritating is the faux, I''m genuinely confused. Aye, right. And I expect that the OP is robust enough not to need you running to her aid, Glad. I certainly hope so.

GladAllOver · 18/04/2022 16:54

The OP doesn't need aid from anyone, certainly not from me.
But thank you for answering my question, I'm sorry you were irritated by her post.

Christ on a bike, a war going on people are homeless starving no medicine. Can you give a thought to them

Was He really on a bike? They said He was on foot and carrying a heavy wooden cross.
