Dear Atlantic Gas
Quick question about a letter you just sent me last week, dated October 2008. I don’t understand how you can write to me in October telling me that gas prices “will” (future tense) increase from 25 August 2008 (2 months ago). This is gas I’ve already used at an agreed price. You surely aren’t allowed to raise prices retrospectively for goods I’ve already bought? After all, PC World can’t come and call on me for an extra tenner for that Epson printer they sold me at 49.99 last month. Why are you allowed to do the equivalent?
