It's worth repeating that Martin Lewis has recommended British Gas as the best deal around.

[nortic 007] 22/2/2019 10:36

They can't and that's why they are dropping like flies!

Who are these "million loss making customers" and where have they gone to? If their new suppliers can make a profit from them, why can't British Gas?

[whatsup32] 22/2/2019 10:17

BG has over the year let go nearly a million loss making customers , Why ? Because they were not making a profit on them or making a loss.

Hopefully it’s just the ones they make a profit staying .


It would be a massive gamble to fix prices for two years. Who knows what the wholesale price of gas or electricity will be ,Dollar - GBP exchange rate. Or where inflation is heading.

To mitigate those uncertainties you would have to price it in to your fix term rate which in return would make the 2 year fixed contract uncommercial.

BG SHOULD GO FORWARD AND AVE ONE TARIFF FOR ALL . NOT A MINE FIELD ,

IT WOULD BRING IN MORE CUSTOMERS

I wish you all the best. I've bought 45/- over the last 2 days and back up to my original 225/- holding

What’s the point of getting 2.7m new customers if they are at a loss.

Better to get rid of loss making customers and concentrate on profit makers.

Turnover is vanity , profit is sanity . Credit ..MR Conn

if BG announced a freeze on their prices for the next 2 years they would get over 2.7m new customers . conn must not see the wood for the trees

Tangible assets shrink globally. Customer numbers reduce, net debt increases, new operating model is still few years away, political pressure get more intense

Very little gain is expected short term

Still too risky to hold for long term

DIOR...

Centrica will remain a political football, whilst it has a large customer base. To derisk this, it would be prudent to invest more in the supply side.Transco and BG group probably worth x10 1997 price, whilst centrica x2. (With Similar divi over time).

[svenice7] 22/2/2019 08:54

What was the 1997 price, let me see, 50p. Still long way to fall yet....
