OK so here's the situation. I'm with Ebico, the cheapest for prepayment customers - their prices are linked to SSE, whose prices are going up sharply tomorrow, so I plan to go out and buy a whole load of credit today to avoid the increase - effectively purchase my own capped price plan.

Boiler Service - Another Rip-off by British Gas
I just booked my annual boiler service with British Gas and had to book the usual half day appointment, annoying as per usual. They then tried to sell me a 'new service' where they can give me a 2-hour appointment slot for a mere £3 per month extra. Seriously, this is something they should be offering as standard. I…
