Just as an aside UW have a web site called find me the cheapest. My son was 13 yesterday and wanted a camera. As my wife gets these things she got from Amazon without telling me. She had to send it back as it didn't work. She decided to order it from Argos. I told her to get through my site but being old fashioned decided to do it her way. I checked this morning which company was the cheapest. I could have saved her £15 and got cashback off my bill. And that isn't using the CashBack card but an ordinary debit card.

UW can and soes save people money whatever people like C & Q try to pretend otherwise. Their nonsense is now just a joke.

Ah, so it's not price really, it's just size and choice? And distance travelled? Because Asda guarantee to be cheaper on comparable shopping at Morrisons/Tesco/Sainsburys/waitrose by 10% or you get the difference back. Do they know this? It would sort of negate the distance travelled, i suppose. Where do they live, I'll see if there's a Sainsburys planned so they could get their petrol there as well.....

On a weekly household shop of say £100 that could equate to £10 back plus £3 cashback off their UW bill (whatever service they take) for an extra 4 mile round trip (60p in fuel?). Worth thinking about.

Certainly is worth considering. Morrisons fuel is 133.9 (with a 1p per litre shopping voucher after 500 litres purchased) and Sainsbury's (7 miles away) is 131.9. Most of the £100 that he spends is in spent is Sainsbury's Local on top up shops which is just half a mile away but that doesn't have anywhere near the range of the full size supermarket.

And it is price. I did an online shop with Sainsbury's on mysupermarket last week and my shopping came to £46.75. At Asda the same shop would have been £54.78.

Would you dispute the following?

For the average gas and electricity consumer using, 16,500kWh gas & 3,300kWh electricity, UW in the Midlands is £177 more expensive than the cheapest tariff, in Scotland(SP) UW is £174 more expensive, Yorkshire £170 and London £176 more more expensive.

Would you also dispute that the BT phone/broadband tariff is much much better value than the UW tariff?

Please just keep to FACTS and not keep going on about Q & C - to do so shows you are not prepared to discuss prices and have lost any credibility.

I am stating quite unequivocally that UW have a far inferior Phone/Broadband package than BT(who themselves are not the cheapest) and their gas and electricity is hugely more expensive than the cheaper tariffs - £170+ for someone with average consumption.


Try to answer yourself as a UW salesman and not leave it to Carmine - you can see how he is struggling in his last few posts.

I don't need to dispute anything - I'm not interested in what BT offers or what BG offers or anyone else for that matter. I am totally, totally confident in what UW offers is great value. It is for others to decide for themselves. I don't argue of rates. That's not my job. Nor am I a UW salesman - I am UW customer and distributor - BIG difference.

Milly wasn't struggling - you are. He's a customer just like me - so if he feels UW offers him great a value who are you to tell him otherwise.

Just for record - BT do not give a superior value to UW as far as I am concerned. That's why I am no longer with BT and will never ever go back to them. At the very least I can get through to UW in 15 seconds on average. BT takes for ever - and they're foreign.

That sums it up - a UW salesman not interested in Facts.

P.S.

'Milly wasn't struggling'? Actually I said 'Carmine' was struggling!

Could they be the same person? Meeper will be along to ask you for proof;)

That's why Asda have the price match guarantee! In this scenario you would got the difference back PLUS a further £5 voucher off your next shop of at least £40.

I see post 2284 has had no response from Cardew et al. I can only speculate why. Remind me again, this is a money saving site, isn't it?? And being as Cardew recently instructed us to deal in figures and not mudslinging.........

Meeper

He referred to "Milly" because that's obviously who you were talking about. Unless we have all missed something, because I don't see any recent posts from anyone called "Carmine"........

How very confusing. Have you ever seen that film Conspiracy Theory. Mel Gibson's character has got nothing on you!

I'm not a salesman - I'm a writer and dance teacher - they are my jobs. Carmine hasn't been here for a long time. I never even noticed your Carmine comment - I assumed it was Milly - that's who you have been arguing with.
