Back in the Summer, I agreed to a new British Gas electricity tariff, and it came with a lock in (thought it was 12 or 18 months), which given the price I was happy enough to take. I've now had an email from them telling me that they're putting the price up. Surely if they change the price,…

Single Fuel = no bonus
I know that the utility companies want you to have both your gas and electric supply from them and that's why they offer a "Dual Fuel" bonus. What about those of us who are all electric due to there being no gas in the immediate area? This seems like we are subsidising the customers who have the option. Anyone tried to…
