Do I fix on the price 5 until July 2013 and pay more than I am now with save 4?

    How can anyone know? If we did we'd all, jump the same way.
    Going for a fix is effectively buying insurance against future rises-you are buying peace of mind (albeit with a very expensive premium).
    But you may well end up paying more than you would have done.

    Seems about right on your figures.

    Is SOL4 still available or is it coming to an end.

    If so you really need to compare the new replacement product for this against FP5, to get a true reflection, as the underlying rates have gone up.

    For instance I am on FOL8 ending on 1/7. The next best comparable product is over £200 higher and it is against this I am comparing now. EDF do a fix to 9/2012 for roughly the same price as the eon replacement (including cash back from switching). It also means I could take a 20% increase at the end of that EDF tariff and be in no worse a position than taking FP5 now.

    In a country of the blind, some of the blind people have to pluck up their courage and pretend to be able to see, so the others can have hope (false, natually).

    What you have to remember is, if you can actually see, keep your mouth shut, because nobody wants to hear the ugly truth. You'll only get lynched. Just be a false prophet, and tell them what they want to hear.

    The truth is, we have to reduce the world population.

    As the cannibals know, it's bad manners to eat your relatives, so they swap dead grandmothers. That's why the Americans go to the Middle East to help reduce their population, and the Muslims go to America to help them with the same problem.
