Re: Globle Warming
EDF is bent anyway,
The electricity charges were ridiculous, I left them two years ago and got another company and it is now less than half of EDFs charges. I am saving £1,000 a year
never deal with them

Re: Globle Warming
Well Brian it must be a different set of tariffs between EDF France and EDF UK my electric bill for the last 12 months was €816.00. You are saving £1000 a year since switching from EDF ? Perhaps if Maggie had not privatised the Utility companies things like Gas, Electric and Water would be a lot cheaper seeing as there would be no share holders chasing the profits. Also the Utility companies would not be in the ownership of foreign hands.

Re: Globle Warming
Lewis, Maggie always envisaged that control of the Utility companies would be UK controlled and the Government had a Golden share which vetoed any unwanted takeover. In 2004 the EU
Commission declared the Golden share was illegal under EU rules.
