chaircover: i haven't read all 50 pages lol, but I am hoping that some people are thinking out of the box. Yes £500 sounds like a lot of money especially if you haven't got it, however lets look beyond this and look at other things.

On Tuesday, i drove up the motorway doing 80mph to 100mph, I wasn't stressed at that speed because I knew that I had original brakes, good tyres and a good road and no sudden craters or debris appearing in the road.

My kids go to school free, they have free dental and medical treatment, one has free public transport travel and If I wasn't working, they will have free school dinners. There are also heaps of activities that they attend free or subsidized such as Italian lessons, music lessons, sports and all what not. We have 4 library's in my city and they can take out books, Cd's, magazines etc for free.

If I dial 999, I will have an ambulance, police officer or fire engine within 5 minutes. If I am too ill to to my regular doctor, I call him and he comes out free. I go to A&E and I am seen for free and treated like a human being. I am not left to die because I cant afford to pay for my treatment. My local NHS hospital also has a helicopter on standby to get people to hospital in an emergency. Ive actually seen the helicopter land on the motorway to take an accident victim to hospital and you will be amazed at the speed in which the emergency services stop the traffic and get the traffic moving again afterwards.

When I am pregnant I get free medication and dental treatment for a year and the govt gives me approx £60 a month for each child till they are 18 years old regardless of what I earn.

I have access to my MP that I voted in and if I am not happy with the service of any company that I visit I report to the trading standards and it is looked into. I can buy things from a shop, take it home, change my mind and return the item to the shop for a full refund.My bins are emptied every week and my close is swept every week too. The bushes and the grass is cut too from time to time. There are street lights outside my house which come on every evening and go off in the morning. There is a big park within a 2 minute walk from my house with benches and children's outside play swings etc

There is also accountability. A month ago my husband was stopped by the police and accused him of letting my daughter ride in the car without a seat belt. She did have a seatbelt on BTW but he accused her of putting it on after she saw him. Basically he called her a lair. My husband was livid and made a formal complaint to the police commission. They sent 2 senior police officers out to our home within days to come and sort things out. They listened to what happened and They apologized on behalf of the police force, but we said it was my daughter they upset and she was at school at the time. They came back the very next day and apologized to her personally and took her to their car to show her the gadgets (you know kids and gadgets)

When I am paying my bills, I am not just paying for gas and electric, I am paying for peace of mind and a sane lifestyle.

For your invaluable services to Queen and country. I, the totally unrecognised Nairaland Viceroy of Queen Elizabeth II hereby dub thee Chaircover, Baroness of Nairaland. tonguetonguetongue

So overpriced electricity bill is what pays for all the story-of-methuselah that you wrote up there?? Do you understand English and actually know the difference between electricity bill and taxes If you want to pay 4 times the amount you're supposed to pay for your electricity bill, good luck to you... As for me, I won't let anyone rip me off... undecided undecided

the winter months are usually like that......
besides, there are things to analyse. firstly, are your windows double-glazed? if they are not then you have shot yourself in the foot. the standard temperature the house should run is also very confusing. there's no point running the hot water only for you to dilute it with cold water(that's waste of heat energy).....

if you stay at home all the time too, you would use more heat. these are the reasons your bill went as far as £500. i paid around the same amount this time last year too - shymmex, go and pay your bill before british gas sends the bailiffs to come and remove your boiler...... grin

My windows are double-glazed and I'm never at home, to be honest... I've been paying electricity bill since I was 17/18 and I've never paid anything close to this(even when I was in uni outside London and stayed indoors most of the time)... It's just the normal thing with these rip-offs to overcharge people for the services they didn't render...

I should've changed my meter to the pre-paid one when I moved in... Who likes paying bills, anyway Even the richest people in the UK don't like paying taxes, hence why most of them hide their money in tax-free countries... Most of the clowns running their mouths on the internet probably cry every time the postman drops their letters every Monday morning, to be honest... I'm a real guy and I don't care about fronting to people in Nigeria... grin

The super-rich are using loopholes to avoid paying £2billion a year in income tax, official figures have revealed.
Only one in six of those earning more than £10million a year is paying tax on their earnings - with the rest using loopholes to dodge the burden.
