Why is everything so expensive?

June 16th, 2011

I really do hate to keep banging on about the same thing, but as I was going through my mail the other day my quarterly gas bill erupted out of the envelope.

Now I’m the first person to admit that I like my creature comforts as much as the next bloke, but I don’t expect to have to pay through the nose for basic things such as heating and electricity. I already pay more tax and national insurance then is healthy and now I’m expected to bleed myself dry just to keep my home heated and powered! I wouldn’t mind so much if it weren’t for the fact that I know the profit margins the energy companies have. Why should I have to pay for some oil baron’s mansion and Tropical Island in the Caribbean?

I’m seriously considering applying for a job within the energy industry. At least then I should be able to get a discount on my bills. I’m still thinking about converting my car to diesel or to just trade in and get a diesel fuelled vehicle. Red Diesel Essex is able to offer me much cheaper rates on fuel then any other provider I can find. It’s just a shame that the majority of their fuel goes for home use and farming. That said, maybe I can get a job with their group and see if they can do something about my car as well.

Moaning is an essential part of my life and I make no apology for criticising the cost of my energy bills. After all, I know everyone else is a critic in some shape or form.
