Ah, take your point TE.

The pound will certainly buy more value in the UK than Aus at the moment.

I pay a bloody fortune here for electricity but it looks like I was paying a bloody fortune in the UK as well.
From the time I left the UK in 2004 the cumulative energy costs increases with BT have been:

Electricity - 91.3%

Gas - 52.1%

But that was only up to July 2008!!!

Having moved into a new house with no gas just electric we are supposed to have a all singing dancing economical heating source pump - economical my arse.
Our bills are much higher now than they were split between gas and electric...
Gas is set to rise though I hear by 18% cheerful news as we approach August and summer is soon to end :$

I'm sure they'll continue to hike the bills here, maybe some freaky goverment to freeze people thru winter here :$
