British Gas
The UK's largest energy company, featured at Zyra's affiliate
website
In the
words of British Gas: "As the largest
energy company in the UK, with over 15 million customers and an
extensive product range, British Gas continues to be the first
choice for customers home needs". 
The British Gas brand has a
wealth of history and recognition behind it. Welcome Back to
British Gas! This page about British Gas 
originally described
British Gas as the main gas company in the UK and the review went
on to explain about the availability of Natural Gas at a
reasonable price in the UK and other services offered by Centrica.
The page spoke well of British Gas and was good for business. The
review quoted the words of British Gas themselves regarding the
choosing of a central heating system from British Gas, and
discussed installing gas and electric heating, showers, radiators,
etc. There was a period when this page was reduced, at the
request of British Gas, but now we are back advertising the place
again!
Some more from British Gas: "Committed to providing an exemplary service, British Gas launched its online home, house.co.uk, in 2001 making access to our products and services even easier. Designed to be the leading website for home needs in the UK, house.co.uk aims to provide an online home management service designed to help customers run their homes more smoothly".
About
house.co.uk?
"Against the background of a highly competitive market, we
continue to be the first choice for millions of customers,
highlighting the inherent strength in the British Gas and House
brands. We offer consumers an exceptional customer service
experience that differentiates us from other brands, making our
products and services very successful with consumers".
It is true
that the UK energy market is indeed a highly competitive market
for electricity and Gas, and it would be
foolish to ignore the fact that there exist energy deal comparison sites such as uSwitch and EnergyLinx, but as British Gas
are the leading
energy supply company they must be confident they can win against
the competition by offering a better deal to the customer. This
kind of thing is a hotly debated subject, and you should look at
all sides of the story and make your own mind up. British Gas in
the form of house.co.uk have a lot to say
about this, (note the rollercoaster allegory in which British Gas
shows you the gas price falling), but they have
their critics too, for example see the material provided by
uSwitch about the alleged British Gas Price
Rise.
Freedom of choice is important, and it's up to you as the
customer to make the right choice. Choose wisely! Also, it's not
just the price to consider, but the quality of service.

making your mind up.
Update 2008/05: British Gas are now giving away free electric lightbulbs! Economy bulbs, that is, not gaslamps. However, there is some limelight to be had.
In 2010/11, British Gas had some rather odd TV ads. These featured people who were animated characters but with live-action faces, resulting in the ads being described by some people as "disturbing". However, whether they were disturbing or not, they were memorable. Also, the ads were set in a universe where people lived on little planets which were "their world" and the house would be the main feature. This is very good philosophically, and it may be that the famous British Gas company has hit upon something which has a deep meaning expressed as a metaphor.
As a matter of interest,
British Gas mains gas supplied to British homes used to be "Town
Gas" which was made from coal, and these days it is Natural
Gas which is actually methane. Methane gas in its pure form has
no smell, so for safety reasons the gas company adds a
distinctive smell to the gas. The company, British Gas, as well
as being a supplier of gas, is also a supplier of electricity,
which may seem odd, but it's a competitive market, and they are
in the energy business. Methane gas will never run out. The
"natural gas" under the ground will be exhausted some
day, but methane will never end. The clue is in the term "natural
gas". Eating baked beans may give an insight about the
supply of methane. The gas is produced from organic stuff being
digested, rotting, or otherwise being chemically decomposed. The
smell might change, but it will still be flammable gas. Some
people have been running their cars on natural gas for years.
