Way to much due to the stupid way the governmnet owned companies where given away to to foreign companies,that make massive profits, cant fix leaks quickly, and pay shareholdersto much.

no foreign ownership at privatization, IIRC all foreign ownership signed off under the former Labour government
profits are regulated, write to these people if you think they are doing a bad job http://www.ofwat.gov.ukcant fix leaks quickly, and
quicker than in NI or Scotland which are still quangoespay shareholdersto much.

3 issues.
1) We pay no more than anywhere else in the wold with unsubsidised fuel (so we'll miss out the middle east and venezuela)
2) Just like BP isn't Brittish, EDF, GDF, Exxon Mobil, Shell, ConocoPhilips, etc arent exactly national companies anymore.
3) The networks are owned by UK companies like transco (or whever replaced it), or the water companies (which are generaly British). Electricity doesn't leak, gas leaks generaly make the news for killing people, and last I checked BP can get £1million out of a hole in the ground in Hampshire, I'd like to see a water company do that, I doubt think they make disproportionate ammounts of money!Posted 1 year ago # -
In a two bed semi (but poorly insulated) we pay around 150 a year for water (metered) and about 800 for gas and electric.
That's for two people

150 Pound a year for metered **** water!!!!! Do you ever wash?? Ours is 400!!! And what really grates me is the stoopid bint who rented this house before I bought it, asked for the meter to be put in, every fecker else on the street pays a fixed rate and uses what they want

We do wash, admittedly often I shower at work during the week, but we wash bikes and water the garden at home.
Fixed rate would be 350 a year for our property, but after living in new properties with meters fitted knew it would be loads cheaper for us to be on a meter.

at a guess, i'd say between £1,400-£1,500 pa for those three utilities
gas £700
electricty £500
water £250Posted 1 year ago # -
Either way, we all pay too much.
But, as mentioned, we are all too lame to do anything about it...

Either way, we all pay too much
someone has to pay for all the subsidies for "green" technology
8%-10% return on investment for photovoltaics, yes you are paying for it
you also have to pay for historic cronic underinvestment in the water sector, this has regional variations hence the difference in charges

If its that easy and theres that much of a gap in the market, why not et up your own water company?
