Re: Rising Energy Cost

Post by sir-scrogalot »

Ok so iv been looking again at energy costs, the cap on a variable rate keeps you at 29p per kwh so it's about 3rd increase from last year's cap of 21p , knowing that it'll increase again in October iv decided the best move is to sit and wait, not change tarrif and hold out.

The good old chesnut again I would say. Scaremongering people into changing and swapping things about when later down the line you maybe shafted like you say..... wait it out.

I think this is probably the most sensible idea. There is not much anyone can do, maybe think of ways to cut down elswhere and make more money to pay it off :idn: .......?

Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.

I think theres plenty of people with economy 7 meters still, unless you inherit it with the house there not fitted anymore, along with storage heaters, power showers, and over cooker extractors... all are being fazed out by housing association's.

I ended up going online and filled out a form with my meter readings. One of the questions was asking if we had Economy 7, so it does still exist even if you cannot sign up for it.

My parents were on it. Rung a bell 🔔 Once changed off it, that's it you can't get it back.

Basically, in life we constantly get screwed. So we have to find a way to screw em back :ak:
