AIBU here? Does anyone else understand it?
When our bills rose in 2022, we were told it was due to the Ukraine War..... but as far as i'm aware, the price of gas has now declined to pre war cost so why are we still paying such a high price?
I know that British Gas etc make huge amounts of profits and there are multiple threads on the pensioners losing their winter allowance but why aren't the Government or Ofgem stopping them from charging so much? Surely that would be a better solution rather than taking away their allowance? The allowance only exists because prices are so high......particularly the standing charge which in my opinion is absolutely ridiculous, surely we shouldn't have to keep paying these prices for years to come? Why is this being allowed? Unless i'm missing something?
It really annoys me that every summer, the prices drop down slightly and it's made to look as though we're saving when in fact, they just put them back up again come winter
AIBU or do I just not know enough about all of this?
