Bunhill: Bearish over gas

ANIMAL magic has come to the gas industry. While Tarzan sits at the DTI working out how to break up British Gas, the independent suppliers have produced their own glossy publication. Entitled 'Wouldn't you just love to be in control?', it tells customers how they could save 50p a week on their bills, if only they were allowed to transfer from British Gas. Sadly, Ian Powe, head of the Gas Consumers' Council, dismissed their efforts as a 'Rupert Bear annual, strong on pictures and weak on words and numbers'.
