Cornwall Together - Utilities - 'Better Buying Together'
http://www.cornwalltogether.com/en/ I signed up to the above, which promises energy discounts due to collective purchasing, however I just reviewed my offer and am somewhat puzzled.

Privatisation of British Gas
Is it just me or has privatisation increased the costs of gas dramatically. Before privatisation British Gas, was the only supplier of gas and had great bargaining powers when negotiating the purchase of gas from countries like Norway.

Help with British Gas!!
Hi, British Gas keep saying we owe them around £800 for a month's worth of electricity (in July) from back in 2011. We managed to find the meter readings and have sent these to them repeatedly which show that they have clearly made an error with their stored readings. Something you'd think they would work out anyway since…

Should i switch to Economy 7/10
We have 3 kids under 9 and so we regularly have the washing machine, the dishwasher and the tumble drier on what feels like simultaneously. I appreciate that we could be hanging clothes up to dry but that is an argument i lost years ago. My question is this: If I schedule these power sucking machines to run at night rather…

it's quicker, but is it cheaper?
I currently have a gas hob, which I find very slow for bringing water to the boil (for example for cooking pasta). So I've taken to boiling the kettle, then pouring the water into the pan and bringing it back to the boil on the hob. It saves time, obviously - but is it cheaper to heat the water using gas, or using the…

If anyone has any ideas? Thank you :)
