If there's a niche in the market place why not fill it yourself?

I was hoping that I'd missed an existing site - "actualenergyprices.org" or something. Its obvious to have all the utility prices in one place. Unlike the rest of the walking dead around here I don't have the time to trawl around collecting the information that the utility corps go out of their way to hide.

I do however have the time to post an awesome tirade lamenting the fact that energy price comparison sites are nothing but data mining scams & shills for the marketing departments of those self same utility corps.

Pls be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps

Why do you even post on this thread Backfoot? You haven't contributed anything remotely useful and your trolls are weak, uncreative and lack wit. You can PM me if you wish to continue your pathetic personal attacks and I will indulge your stupidity where it does not distract from this threads topic and purpose.

Why don't you just opt out of the marketing from these sites ?

MSE is a willing accomplice to these scam sites

And what do you get from comparison sites? well a LOT of bull$#^* to read through & then supposed 'deals' where if you are standing on one leg while facing north & whistling God save the queen on a Thursday you MIGHT save five pounds on an electricity bill...over a year...if they feel charitable...and if you convert to their religion or something.

All i need is a $#^*ing html table with the price per kilowatt hour for each one of these scum sucking utility corporations. THATS a $#^*ing price comparison site - you see? where you can COMPARE THE $#^*ING PRICES.

Its time to put the utility corps, their watchdog & the price comparison scammers up against a wall so I can give the order to fire!

You start off and continue with a foul mouthed, ill informed rant about MSE and Comparison Sites then end up quoting MSE etiquette.:rotfl:Do us all a favour and get back to facebook.

Absolutely sick of getting data mined & spammed from price comparison sites.

Nope, you've foxed me immediately. What are you wittering on about?

MSE is a willing accomplice to these scam sites by actively linking to them making out they are a good thing & profiting from the click throughs!

People actually use the MSE clickthroughs? <shrug> More fool them.

Anyone know of such a place?

How about a price comparison site? Every one of them provides this facility. You may have to peer through the red mist occluding your vision and do ensure you are entering the correct postcode -be careful of your fingers slipping on the slimy drool pooling on your keyboard.

[...]You know, if you ring these corps & ask them how much their juice is they'll only tell you how much one of their 'units' is, and yeah you guessed it - one of their units prices will almost certainly need a maths degree to convert it to a KWH.

Uhm, I think you'll find you have this the wrong way round. And multiplying by the either of the factors is very simple piece of mental arithmetic - hardly maths degree standard. (Multiplying by ten and adding one more of the original price or multiply by one hundred and divide by three.)

I thought you just claimed that all YOU needed was a table of kWh prices. You can't cope with a simple multiplication converting units to kWh but you can cope with tiers and discounts. How does that work?

Theres gotta be someone out there as fed up with this pretending that we have a free market for gas & electric.

Right on! O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum Even before the revolution no-one dictates to you how to use apostrophe's. Way to stick it to the man, man.

Well, there are some usual suspects here who are with you for this suggestion - regardless of the Gadaffiesqueness of the supporting rant.
