Default Fuel prices

National News bulletins this evening stated that gas and electricity
customers are paying more for their fuel due to an errant forecast paraded
by virtually all newspapers in late autumn of a severe winter. This led
to
overstocking of supplies and a rise of the price. Shame that they did not
use the Frosted Earth long-range forecast. Our heating bills this winter
would have been somewhat lower.


I recall seeing one of the utilities companies quoting that forecast with
source as a means of encouraging the punters to invest in a new boiler,
system, care package or whatever. Must have been Autumn. Surprised at the
time that they had used such a source. Not long after that there was the
start of much discussion on USW. I went back to look for the ad but could
not find it.......

All the best
