Talking of Poll Tax/Rates/Community charge as it is now how about you Water Rates.The figure that you are charged for this has got nothing todo with the water that you use (unless you are on a water meter) but is todo with the ratable value of your house.In my avenue there are a number of people living on there own and then some with five occupants but all pay the same water rates,one paying the same as against five.I have applied for a meter and a surveyor is coming out next Tuesday,if you get a meter and it doesn't work out you can revert back to an annual standard rate.The figures given to me by North West Water state a household with two occupants could be better off by over £200 a year and one occupant over £300 a year.

All properties here in Oz have water meters, but the biggest part of the bill is for sewage and water delivery. In an account of $270 for 4 months the water component is only $45.

have just had 514 pound gas bill for last quarter 220 pounds a month council tax there are only to of us in this house but a similar house to mine with 4 working persons pays the same can anyone tell me why this is the case as we are 73 and 70 years of ageand still relatively fit and mobile why this should be,,,,,,so for instanceif a family of 5 or 6 lived in onehouse and all worked they would only pay the same tax as methe tax system in the country is unjust the state pension is what it ses a state pension but any one trying to live on that must find it extremely hard .....but then nobody said it would be easy jim this is not a political blog only a moaning pensioner regards cappy

No wonder you are all shouting about costs. My gas for the year $700 which is about 450 GBP, but we do not have such a long winter. As for council rates I paid $1103 for the year and our land sizes are up to 4 times the size of Uk properties.
No doubt in my mind, though I was not there for it, the Poll tax was the fairest system ever introdcued

I like to think i am always on the lookout for a bargain and Froggy or not mate none of the others can match it, And cap the fixed rate until 2015. The way things are turning out with the weather in the u.k. with what has to be climate change. The only way your heating bills will go is up. I think i got a good deal Regards mate Terry.
