"which experts think could trim £50 from an average bill."

notice the word "could" and "average"

so unless you use the identical amount of gas/leccy/both from one billing period to the next how will you actually notice this pittance of a cut

I'm pretty sure that if i hadnt read this and wasnt aware of it i wouldnt even notice such a piffling amount off my bills

£50 may be a piffling amount to you but it could be a fair bit to an OAP for example.

50 quid a quarter? I'd notice that!

If you won't notice, I'll have yours.....

Better than nothing. Need all the help i can get at the moment.

woofgang,I could be wrong but I think they are talking about £50 per YEAR.

I spoke to my parents earlier who are OAP's and they certainly arent rich and my father said hed be lucky to notice any real tangible difference in his pocket, thats what made me post it on here.

i'll bet most people wont notice it, and most people wont get anywhere near £50, "could" and "average"

I agree its better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick but I still say its not enough to make much of a difference to the majority ogf people

want to help, then take off VAT also and every other ludicrous green tax

But Labour’s Caroline Flint accused him of resorting to “begging” companies to stop raising prices.

“David Cameron is desperately now running around the energy companies asking them to impose a price freeze when he has spent two months saying that the price freeze that Ed Miliband announced at our party conference is a con,” she said.

She added: “The truth is that only by legislating for a freeze can we guarantee that it will happen. David Cameron won’t do that because he’s not prepared to stand up to the big energy companies.”
