British Gas - Click energy 5
I done a price comparison a couple of weeks ago on our gas & electric. We were with British Gas but it was going to be cheaper for us to go onto the Click Energy 5 tariff. I didn't realise that they hadn't increased the prices on this tariff so signed up to it. I now find out that they are increasing it by quite a lot and…

Basic Question - If an appliance uses 230w what does it mean?
Does it mean that it draws that an hour/minute/second? Just trying to decide if a slow cooker I am after is worth it? I understand that it will be cheaper than the oven in the short term, but it will be on all day whereas the oven will be on for a couple of hours max. Any one??

I know that there are 100s of other threads on these devices and I know that some people think that they are somewhat pointless for varying reasons. We got ours the other day and I have managed to get the daytime wattage down from 0.400 to 0.160 by turning a few devices here and there off etc... Whilst I admit that it is…

Non DD payers-what about us?
We are currently with Southern Electric for both gas and electric. One of their representatives knocked on our door a couple of days ago and asked why we were still on their 'more expensive' tariff?
