Maximum Resal Price
We have a chalet on a holiday site with a £1 coin slot meter which is set at 10 units per £1. There are 200 chalets in all and some of us have grouped together to pool info.

Amerada Free Gas!
Since Amerada ceased trading and got taken up by Powergen, I haven't received a gas bill. It has been over a year now. I still have a full supply coming through.

discounts:central heating for oldies
Hello, I have finally managed to persuade my Grandad to have his central heating done. His house is freezing :o My question is: Is he entitled to any discount or grants being a pensioner in his eighties? I know that central heating can cost in excess of £3K to install, and that's alot of money for a pensioner! Thank you
