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Eon from British Gas having checked out all the tariffs (though I think the particular tariff I went for may have been withdrawn now)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.

    • Hello My husband bought and sold CDs but is no longer trading. I auctioned off all his collection of records and CDs 2/3 years ago. He had a lot of new CD jewel cases and trays which I’ve been trying to sell off cheaply on this forum… Unsuccessful! I just want them gone now as I was asked by  a shop to count them up and they are cluttering up the hallway. I’ve just had cataract surgery and not advised to lift stuff… I have: 200 CD clear cases with black trays 30 orange CD cases with orange trays  75 black double CD cases with black trays  240 CD clear cases 650 black CD trays  65 clear CD trays Also 3/4 boxes of new DVD cases,  Let me know if you’d like to collect any of the above free. You can give a donation to cancer charity if you like!  kind regards  Eleanor

    • I agree that I enjoy seeing the variety of wild flowers growing naturally in the streets and would much prefer that they were not destroyed. (The South London Botanical Institute actually conduct wildflower identification walks on street wild flowers.) However, as the council consider themselves to be responsible for removing these plants, it's better that they now dig them out rather than spraying them with toxic herbicide, as they used to do - a step in the right direction.
