Been listening to Liveline today and OMG and aren't youse gettin well screwed with your bills

The people were saying their bills from the same period last year were doubled and then some. Have you noticed this and why the big price difference ?

Is that only for 2 months ?

Up here we get ours by the quarter and the last recent bill I recall as being under £170

It's no wonder alot of people come from the South to shop up here

 

[essjay]

Yep for 2 months. The highest I've ever seen it before was around €220.

I can't wait to see the gas bill....

What way do they sell the electric up there - by the bag or in a packet ? And is it sold by weight or volume ??

With the money they save shopping up here they can pay their lecky bill

Ah, I see. That's not really helping the recession down here though
(and yes, I know it's not your fault entirely )

I know what you are saying, but why are your ESB bills so high ?

I know costs of all types of fuel and energy rose but your's appears to be very high increases

 

[essjay]

they're clever ****ers.

They put the price right up due to oil prices. When the oil prices dropped the ESB & Bord Gais announced price drops in October but effective from March. Make sure they get the winter months in first where we'll all be using loads of gas and electricity.....

I know what you are saying, but why are your ESB bills so high ?...

is coz we're so hospitable innit -

The Door Is Always Open ....

[Ogmios]

[Jockser]

[Jockser]

Either you two are looking at the same bill or there's a cartel operating here

Should we have a 'roll call' & see who has the highest bill ?

 

[essjay]

the ESB are just taking cricket scores and putting them on bills.

Sure lets have a roll call. We have two on €329.

Domestic bills only though....

[Brendan]

Our November bill which was estimated as were the previous 4 bills averaged €219.00.
Our January bill which was from an actual meter reading was €347.00

The difference been the correction for underestimated previous bills.

The ESB who are contracted to read the meters are only obliged to read the once in a 12 month period.
Therefore at the time of the actual reading there will need to be some sort of adjustment made on the next bill for poorly estimated usage.

 

[essjay]

My meter is read around once every 2 months.
