    I'd be happy with that, JD. Try trebling that for what we pay in water rates, and treble it again for what the meter was costing us. It was investigated, and we had the meter replaced, but we still ended up with a bill that would have looked more in keeping with Wentworth Woodhouse! :confused:

    Is it just me or is sharing a bath not as romantic as it sounds? Presuming everyone is clean and a bath isn't needed, there just isn't any room! Apart from a bath in a suite in Florida once that was more like a swimming pool, they're definitely not made for two.

    I change my supplier whenever "flipper" find a better deal, so I've sampled a number of suppliers - they're always quick to up your Direct Debit and slow to pay you back the credit you inevitably accrue. Infact on one occasion I left a supplier, went back to them 9 months later, and they still owed me money from my previous account!!!

    I’m tied into a contract at the mo. But I believe. ( Having been told) Octopus is the way to go for energy supplies, if you’re wanting to change supplier. I’ve got to admit I’d never heard of them till very recently. Highly rated by WHICH.
