Prepayment meters - should I change?
I've always said when I could change I would but now I'm not so sure, we use on average £5-10 electric a week depending if we use tumble drier and around £15 gas a week, both with British Gas, would it be loads cheaper to change to continuous supply?

We have Economy 7 but don't have storage heaters, never have had since we bought our flat in 1998.
