can 4 students use in 21 months?
I have a house in Liverpool which is an end terrace and is let to 4 students. I switched my gas/elec supply to British Gas Business in September 2006 because they were offering a good deal. I have been getting regular electric bills but have not had a single gas bill, until this week, but I have phoned BG everytime I have had an electric bill to ask for a gas bill, its only when I lost me rag 3 weeks ago that a bill arrived. The students are only at the house for 10 months and its also empty for 2 weeks at Christmas, so how much of my money do you think the've spent?

I should also add there is only the central heating and gas hob ;)

::) Knowing how considerate, responsible and thrifty, intelligent modern student-types are I`d think:
£1K + :'(

Don't they pay the bills? :o
Well, they're students, so washing can be discounted, as can laundry. ;) Most of my student days the hob would have been piled high with washing up or take-away cartons, and hence unuseable.
Spliff Fag Lighters come with their own gas supply.
Can't be much, surely? ::)

Well in our studnet house we used to use 90 quid a month..........and that was 12 years ago!
Mind you, you could of bred snakes in thier and if it was to hot we opened a window!
so..........about 1700 quid I would guess (given inflation and all that)

Stupid thing was we had a victorian terrace house with 6 bedrooms, hardly any insulation and the bolier had no time switch or stat....just an on/off switch!
Of course it was always on as a result!

Actually, That's right. There's always one person who's always cold, and the rest have to have the windows open.

£2337.05 :'(
Ive offered BG £1500 told them, if i'd received regular bills I could have nipped it in the bud. They've asked me to put it in writing, so fingers crossed.

I suppose they're not growing exotic herbage in the roof space, are they? Though I suppose that would have put up the electricity bill rather than the gas bill. :(
Do any of the cars run on home-brew "LPG"? :)
Or perhaps they're selling it back to the Russians :)
-
Wow!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o
Pete have you checked they are not supplying fellow students next door with gas (and electric?)? :-? :-? As a student I know how "cold" young students can be and some of the tricks they can get up to!! ;)

Hell's Bell's Pete. Look for the space heater's in the garden, yes running off the mains, my son was a student and the house next door to his, again full of students, had heaters all around the garden plus a big barbecue.

You've only yourself to blame ;D

I could do with a Jimbob gas generator ;)
-
Blimey thats a lot Pete :o
Mind you, you should have stayed :-X about not getting a gas bill.
Mate of mine moved into a new build house about 5 years ago.....got regular leccy bills, but never a gas bill. He did phone up BG once who said he wasnt with them, so he didnt bother...... 4 years later he sold and moved. He never did pay a gas bill in those 4 years ;D

Well good luck mate....i finally left BG in March after problem after problem over 18 months.
My final gas reading was estimated at over DOUBLE the actual reading and my final bill of £55 once i disputed it as i firmly believe they owe me money has now rocketed too over £900 :o
After dozens of phone calls and asking energy watch to get involved (BG have ignored Engerywatch and wont reply to there letters,
Ive no idea what gonna happen now..bunch of bloody crooks.
-
I also left BG after a total mix up with charges etc, then got bills from them about 5yrs later too for gas & they wernt even the supplier ,tossers! daughter got bills from them when they bought a shop "estimated of course" but there's no gas mains in the shop they threatened to take her to court hahaha now that would have been funny ;D tell you they are bloody rubbish, when we get a BG rep at the door asking if we thought of changing to BG i can keep him there ages if weathers fine before i give him the you must be joking line ;D

I remember some of the Gas Boards anytic's on That's Life years ago when they kept billing people for gas that didnt even have meters.
