aha the plot thickens it seems that british gas doesnt bill per quarter in fact they bill for 11weeks and 3.33 days so it stops short of the 3rd month direct debit therefore making it look as if i should pay more if that makes sense?
thing is earlier this year i got a bill for £832 for the electrical i kicked off of course lol and they found because i had one of the meters with the dials different meter readers read it differently lol so they changed it, maybe its the same with the gas one too so going to ring them later to come check again , your quite right doa in my mind the bill is too high for what i am using but then again 50% rise does equate too grrrrrrrrrr
