Thought it might be interesting to compare peoples Gas & Electricity prices, as I got a bit of a shock when I opened my latest bill from SainsburyS Energy.


I'm a 1 bed flat (single occupancy) and the buggers have put it up from ?98 to ?128 per month (thats combined gas & elec). Does that sound too much?

I'm paying about ?50 per month gas & electric with Sainsbury's Energy. I'm in a three bed house with GCH and gas cooker, Mr Asset won't let us use the heating unless it's minus 10 outside (slight exaggeration but not much). I have a small credit balance at the moment.

So yes Fractionater, it sounds like you are paying way too much.

I'm at work all day and don't have a toaster, very rarely use my kettle, but have a PC that's left on all the time. that's about it really. I'm going to have to have words with Sainsbo I think. (shame really as I was very impressed with the new store in EDul too)

Oooh... first post after a few weeks of lurking!


I'm with [Ebico], who resell for Scottish & Southern Energy. Our last combined quarterly bill for a 2 bed house was about 100 quid.


When I changed a year or so ago they were by far the cheapest, though I've not checked for a while. Not all the switching sites show these guys as they don't pay commissions.

We're on about ?75 a month with npower combined dd green tariff for a 3 bed house (4 people) electric cooker, no tumble dryer but use of a dishwasher and washing machine that would make an eco-warrior weep. We're usually in credit and periodically get some money back.
I'm on powergen's combined online lowest tariff and its 70 a month, slight credit for a 3bed detached. Gas CH and hob, electric ovens and other appliances that are probably turned on too much. That is outrageous for a 1 bed flat - are you sure the other tenants in the building aren't tapping into your supply?!!!

Ok - I've got my wires crossed (ha ha). We have got low voltage halogen lights (12v rather than 240v) not low energy. They run through a transformer. However I believe that the low voltage ones are more energy efficient.

Mr Asset tells me that low energy halogen replacement bulbs are available but as they are not halogen they will not have the same light. Try Screwfix or Homebase.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
