I started a thread about gas and electricity suppliers, because I have just switched back to Eon from British Gas having checked out all the tariffs (though I think the particular tariff I went for may have been withdrawn now)

You have to bear in mind opening offers (eg Amazon vouchers or cash), length of contract and cancellation charges as well as the monthly direct debit.

By the way folks, under the direct debit scheme a company has to give you 10 days notice in writing if they intend to increase your direct debit. If they don't do that they are in breach of the rules and you should report them to Energywatch - the power industry watchdog and of course complain to the company themselves.

Mick Mac - thats WAY too much. Personally I don't rate NPower as had less than positive experience with them in the past.

Although, I disagree wholeheartedly on "energy-saving" lightbulbs*. They're fucking useless and best avoided in my opinion.

    • LL has always reminded me of Crouch End. Went to Crouch End a while ago and three huge supermarkets now dominate it. Soulless. 
    • I completely agree.   Pride used to be in Brixton and Brockwell Park before it outgrew it and moved to Finsbury Park.  Quite reasonable to accept limitations and respond properly  
    • Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found. 
    • Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.
