Just like your "good mate" Quentin?

Sorry, couldn't resist

Indeed, I find this very odd myself. Carmine refuses to answer any specific question relating to UW in this thread.

Pot, kettle, black. Place these words in an appropriate sentence. Carmine has put up his numbers, I put up my numbers, why not follow suit and let everybody know yours too?

I don't just eat sainsburys basics curry sauce on chips.

I wonder if the schnell imbiss folk in Deutschland use Sainsbury's basics curry sauce on their currywurst?

Carmine has been the most savage critic of every gas, electricity and telephone company on this Forum – with one single exception; namely UW.

You refer to him as a ‘satisfied customer’ yet he has only just joined the company. His irrational ‘defence’ of UW started soon after he joined MSE and was simply a stance taken to be in opposition to those contributors with whom he had clashed in other posts; this pre-dated the introduction of the now much championed cashcard.

I assume that this stance was also taken before he bought shares in the company????

I don’t think anyone could accuse Carmine of lacking intelligence, only lacking judgement; and on the issue of UW his posts lack any form of balance, indeed integrity.

His modus operandi is to discredit, indeed ridicule, any opposition by researching their posting history. His rather twisted logic is that if an opposition poster can be shown to have made a mistake in a post, or an unwise choice of Utility company/Supermarket/investment etc then any valid criticism they make of UW can be discounted.

This coming from someone who, in order to back up his argument, 'claimed' French & Saunders were advertising UW on his TV 'most nights of the week'. And you accuse ME of 'lacking judgement' when it comes to discussing UW? :rotfl:

Yes, and I appreciate your honesty in revealing this fact so readers can draw their own conclusions when reading your posts. Now in what way is 'independent' carmine connected to UW?

Just asking as he never specifically criticises UW on MSE, as Cardew points out he spends an inordinate amount of time bashing every other energy supplier apart from the on being discussed in this thread.

Unless carmine will start to answer specific questions without falling back to the retort technique's Ive outlined previously I will have to reluctantly come to the conclusion that he is inextricably linked in someway to UW, aside being an apparent customer that is.

As far as I am aware, Carmine has only recently become a customer of Utility Warehouse and that is his only involvement. He is a completely independent self confessed rate tart who shops around for the best bargains that suit his wants. His personal circumstances presently dictate that he join Utility Warehouse to get best value for his requirements. No doubt he will change to another company when it suits him.

I am sure that you will believe whatever you want to believe whether there is evidence one way or the other. It seems to me that Carmine dislikes all the utility suppliers but is fair about his comments. No doubt he will complain about Utility Warehouse if he feels service is not what it should be.

Now, how about giving us your actual usage figures so that we can see that your present supplier is the cheapest one for you in your particular circumstances?

What if there is no handy Tesco? I walk to work and Sainsbury's is on my route.

Get it delivered, plenty of codes on here to get the price down even more when shopping online (possibly extra points too) :rolleyes:

I can't recall ever seeing your utility deal in detail, PC. Post it up here and we'll have a look. Phone line/BB/calls provider and what you pay, gas and electric usage, region and what you pay and what cash back card you use for your shopping. TIA.

You are rather proving my point!

What a huge mistake! stating F & S advertised on TV instead of the internet? - is that the best you can produce? Does that totally negate any facts I post about UW?

As part of your 'discredit campaign' against myself you frequently posted that the BG fixed to April 30 2010 tariff that I started in 2005 was a error of judgement as the BG Click tariff introduced the following year was much cheaper. Now I wonder who lacked 'judgement' in that case.

Incidentally with my heavy consumption on this BG tariff, that apparently demonstrated my lack of judgement!!! I am paying £797 a year less than I would with UW.

P.S.
As for Carmine massaging figures to make UW appear less expensive. When he became the UW 'champion' his electricity consumption dropped dramatically in his UW pricing from the figure he previously used in calculations.

Or should that be completely independent UW shareholder;)

So not his 'only involvement'!!!
