Roger Mexico Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 1 hour ago, Manxman1234 said: 3 people arrested today on manslaughter charges over the explosion in jsy. doesnt mention who they are though According to ITV: The three men - who have not been identified as charges are yet to be brought - were arrested between Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 August 2023. They were interviewed by officers and released on bail as the investigation continues. Officers say the families of the 10 residents killed have been informed, as have those residents relocated to temporary accommodation elsewhere as a result of the blast. Jersey Police has urged islanders not to speculate on the identities of the men charged, as the case remains a live investigation. The fact they've informed so many people suggests we should hear more soon. It's going to look odd if everything then goes quiet. (The piece also suggests that ITV can't get their heads round the difference between 'arrested' and 'charged'). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADELE Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 There have been a couple of tragic incidents of gas explosions across quite recently, in one a child was killed, it turned out that the people next door had been doing a bit of DIY and this is what caused the dreadful explosion. It was very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringy Rose Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I’ve said before my monthly direct debit isn’t covering my expenditure. I’m putting the shortfall to one side but I’m not rushing to change my direct debit as I reckon IEG will go bust before they notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm not expecting them to go bust... better to have a marginal few pounds more in your current account than MUA and their half a billion of debt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADELE Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Both Gas and Electricity concerns have increased the standing charges and that is the part I really object to, you can be really careful with your usage but they get you on the standing charges to me that is unfair. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standing charge covers the cost of getting the gas or electricity to your house, and that cost is the same regardless of how much you use. I’d agree the standing charges are too high though.
