Electricity and gas prices going up - what will you do?
jazzer replied to Nigello's topic in The Lounge
Clearly Cat what you've been saying about the rises in gas prices has been spot on, as now reported on BBC News. But also the spike has very slightly dropped as Russia has increased the supply, hopefully the decrease in the spike price will continue, however News also reporting that the price cap may rise from ?1277 to ?1660. -

What is the live market data? And where is the data from? What is the market? The energy market??? The oil market? As you don't say what it is how are we supposed to know? It's like a newspaper stating something but not the source from which it came, a Govt dept, a Minister, The Church, a trade body etc. TheCat Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Umm not really....we pay a fee for access to live > market data, I can't just post it on random > internet forum I'm afraid..and Im not really > trying to win an argument here or prove a point > with evidence. > > The price was up 20 percent today for wholesale 1 > month future on UK Nat gas...I just thought people > without that live access may be interested in > that....you can either choose to believe that or > not, I don't really mind which! -

So can you post your data to show the increase, Quantitative data is the best way to demonstrate this. -

Rye Lane reopening to buses, but permanent closure still looms
jazzer replied to IainJ's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Shouldn't it be what the people (constituents and traders) want, and not what the councillors want to force on the people and traders. As others have said Peckham Rye Station is a main interchange and not having access to a convenient bus service is nothing less than total madness. Roll on 18th October. -

From the radio commentary sounded very much as though for the first 6 rounds AJ did very little and then did too little too late. KK summarised the fight very well.

Electricity and gas prices going up - what will you do?
jazzer replied to Nigello's topic in The Lounge
Probably we'd be on a set tariff and with no choice. That isn't to say that the current situation of providers going bust is right either. For anyone's energy provider who has gone bust and has/is being moved to another (likely much larger provider) on a much increased rate, I feel for you. I can only suggest let Energy UK do the switch which they are required to do and once complete take a look at that energy companies tariffs and see if their is a more suitable tariff or look at the market and see where you can switch to. -

See link for those who have gone bust since January 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58626018 If you're on a fixed tariff, probably safest to sit tight and wait till the tariff ends, then shop around either with your current supplier or with others in the market. Found comparing ?/Kwh easiest way to do this. Or Check out price comparison sites, bearing in mind they don't do it for free. Or If you're not on a fixed tariff (variable) I believe, hope that your supplier is not one of the four currently teetering on going bust and switch to a 12 month fixed tariff ASAP. Or If your supplier does go bust, Energy UK will switch you to a new supplier, your gas and elecricity will not go off, they guarantee that. And finally of you're with Bulb because someone on here was encouraging people to switch, just hope the Govt stump up the cash to bail out that supplier!!!!!!!!!!! -

63 Bus: no service to Forest Hill Road
jazzer replied to FredCasa's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Thanks for posting this info, very helpful. What again, they only just fixed the main a couple of weeks ago and in fact I understood that it was gradually being replaced. When is this Thames Water shambles ever going to come to a conclusion?? -
Coming to this late, so apologies. When I went past on the bus last week, it looked as though it is no longer possible to cut through from Peckham Road to Peckham Hill Street, am I wrong??

Not clear why it's spilt and not a place where you'd expect it to split either. If you can remove the lower two brackets, replace the final piece of pipe with a new one from one of the local DIY stores or All Type roofing on the Lane, they may have an odd piece knocking around the yard (sort of opposite Rose the butcher) Or if that fails you could always try one of the local handy(wo)man

Frontages on F H Road shopping parade
jazzer replied to Nigello's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I remember when it was Osgoods, next shop Express Dairy, then Jonathons and then at the end of that short parade of shops on the corner was the Greengrocers well before it became the Turkish Supermarket. There was a bakers (part of a local chain) where the Turkish Spa place is, and before that it was the TV repair shop. -

That's going to give the three independents on the Lane and in Grove Vale a bit of competition to compete against, especially as it's a chain and that can probably run at lower margins, lets see what happens.
