That awful uswitch woman they always have on BBC News

Has anyone else seen her? They've had her on a lot lately. She is a spokeswoman for uswitch, and the BBC keep having her on as an expert on energy prices. All she ever does is push her own agenda. On the day that BG dropped their prices she was going "SWITCH NOW, SWITCH NOW!!!" even though none of the other companies had dropped yet. She makes me feel ill.

    She's almost as annoying as some irritating bloke who is always popping up on television. He even has his own television show. He always pretends his suggestions exact revenge on companies instead of costing other customers extra.

    And if you have never switched supplier, you should, of course, switch now (or then.) There are more people who have never switched who would be better off blindly doing so even amidst falling prices. Those who have already switched should, by now, know what they're doing and pay no heed to the traffic lights.

    Has that dreadful woman now changed jobs(or is double-hatted) as I am pretty sure she was on the radio the other morning representing the new Plumber's organisation(son of CORGI)

    Duel Fuel

    ? if so, have to agree, annoying as hell.

    This is she: Ann Robinson

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv4Pta6kkD4

    and I was correct. She is now Gas Safe Register's Director of Public Awareness

    That Yukky 'sincere' tone is quite the worst I have heard. She makes her namesake Anne Robinson seem watchable - and she is awful!

    Does anyone know how many people die from DIY gas and electrical wiring work each year in the UK?
