The Shell Energy email was severely lacking in any details at all but their tariffs are very expensive. It's all very confusing. Was with Green, Green goes bust, get a welcome letter from Shell Energy effective from the 27th then a day later get a confirmation email from Sainsbury's that my switch will take place on the 7th. It's enough to confuse the hell out of anyone. In the meantime I suppose I am going to get hit with a double direct debit, one from Green/Shell and one from Sainsbury's also at the begining of the month. I see that gas has taken another big increase in price over the past couple of days as well.
How are people supposed to suck up all these big price increases? Petrol/diesel is increasing again, food is increasing then there are the massive increases in energy cost. All these increases in everything apart from income. Guess how much my RAF disability pension and Veterans Agency War Pension went up this year? A whopping £1.53 a month on my RAF pension and nothing at all on my War Pension. My wife's pay increased by just over a fiver a week. It's ridiculous.
