Martin on ITV1 on Monday 7th July

MARTINS_DOLL

MSE Wendy has just posted that Martin will be on ITV1 next Monday 7th July on his Broadcast Appearances Board.
I thought I'd post it here too in case anyone misses MSE Wendys post!

It's on at 8pm, the Tonight programme, and He's giving us tips on how to beat the prices hikes expected soon on UK energy bills.

Never mind, Edilass. I enjoyed it on your behalf.

Basic advice was to fix/cap your electricity and gas prices now, before prices go up even further. I feel like a smug moneysaver now as I signed up to the Scottish Power fixed rate until 2011, the other month. :cool:

For anybody else who missed the show, Martin's article on Switching Gas & Electricity companies might be a useful read HERE

(Edilass - I'm sure you've switched your utilities more often than you've switched bank accounts!)

No Jo, a complete failure at switching utilities as well as banks

That woman with her solar roof and her £50 fuel bills just made me see red.
The cost of the thing was barely mentioned, I think I heard £20K.
It ain't easy being green but being well off helps, and what the hell had it got to do with saving money?

The one thing I would like answered by some of these energy officials is: If one of the factors is that the UK sells gas to Europe at cheap times, and then Europe sells it back at expensive times, because we can't store such large amounts - then why aren't we dealing with builidng bigger storage and keeping the darn stuff ourselves?

Why wasn't that done a long, long time ago?
