Tarrifs...
Wondering if there is a resource to view Energy Tariffs? I want to get British Gas' Gas/Electric tariffs (unit rate and standing chare rate) so I can work out if I am better/worse off with the supplier I have. There does'nt seem to be an easy way other than to go through getting quotes etc!
