    Just as i thought.. falling on Deaf Ears :confused:
  • I watched the programme too, I am usually very adept at 'money saving' and am always doing my best to get the cheapest/best value whatever etc etc, but for some reason I have just left my gas and electricity with the companies that supplied my house when it was built in 2005.

    Just dug my bills out - electricity with npower, on what I presume is their standard rate, 13.200p for the first 182 kwh, then 10.980p for remaining units. I currently pay £37 per month direct debit.

    gas with EDF energy, Single Fuel IGT Tariff DD, first 1461 kwh at 5.649p, remaining units at 2.387p. I currently pay £42 per month direct debit.

    I have had a quick surf around comparison sites, but it is a total minefield, especially as they all charge different amounts for the first certain amount of units, then another price for the remainder... it's almost impossible to compare (well for me anyway)!

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Well !! A classic Government Tactic is..... to make you believe something will rise by a higher amount (ie 40%) so when it `only` rises by 20% then you are a happy little subject.

    What we should be saying is "No We`ve had enough" 20% is far too much also. We are ripped off left right and centre. I`m sure the guys at the top aren`t suffering from fuel prices.

    I think Martin has sold out to the Devil... The Tonight program is so deep in the governments pocket its banging on it`s kneecaps. Spread the word!
    I've just seen this post, I'm outraged that you can be a member of this fabulous site, and make these horrid remarks about Martin...:mad:
    He has been a lifeline to thousands of people!
    Disgraceful comments.
