That's why he is upset, he doesn't get paid 20% more, its linked to RPI. |

I suggested to EDF that it was the monumental smart meter cock up and the
new nuclear power station we all need to subsidise. I did also suggest that if they blamed it on brexit I'd smell a rat similar to the decimalisation and eu joining one that I remember very well. Sadly I have little choice as the cheaper companies don't like us blindies or indeed those with no gas. I'm hoping that their next quote based on an actual reading will be less of a guess. I can see myself going nocternal on economy 7 for everything soon. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please!

Try Bristol Energy. https://bristol-energy.co.uk --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com So I just emailed Bristol Energy to ask which region I fall into (on the London borders), their auto reply is that they hope to get back to me within 15 working days. Doesn't instil confidence does it! Peter |

The increase applies to the unit price rather than the daily charge. It annoys me that it often takes extra effort to find the unit price. They (the government) want to confuse me by displaying a TCR. -- Michael Chare |

Another of their ideas was to 'simplify' by reducing the numbers of tariffs. SSE Southern Electric immediately eliminated their prompt payment discount, costing me 3%. Apparently some suppliers just eliminated their cheaper tariffs. -- Max Demian |

Apparently some suppliers just eliminated their cheaper tariffs. Recently my introductory fixed tariff (with Avro) expired and they put me on standard variable. So I looked at their site to see what the options were. There were about a dozen different tariffs. I calculated which was the best for me, and contacted Avro to switch to it. Turned out that only *one* of them was available, and it was much more expensive than either the one that had just expired or the one I had asked to switch to. What's the point of that? -- Jack |
