strung together this:

A mate who lived in the Newmarket area had a raised std unit price but
a lower cheap rate than mine (he may not of had a standing charge
either).

Depending on how long he had that arrangement installed, there are / were
preserved tariffs that new applicants are not able to get.

Quite right. I've just rewired a friends house in Sheffield and their
off peak is an absolute bargain but the YEB say they can't get that
tarriff now. If they stay as they are they can keep it but if they
want the meter or any related equipment changing they'll have to stick
it on the more expensive tarriff.
