    I obviously don't know what the advantages are to reps bills over ordinary customers.
    From a previous message of yours:- "You fail to mention you also have a vested interest in being a customer - your pref rates for being a rep!"

    Then why say there are?

    And, would you please supply details of the Utility Warehouse pre payment card beating "discount card" you have told us about.?

    Compare that claim to:



    But no attempt to abide by the rules.

    And no attempt to justify the misleading post which includes this (note you chose to only describe yourself as a "customer", and never let on you are actually a uw rep!):

    Your false claims have been debunked again Quentin. Yet you persist.

    You prove that you are a vile little man without any worth or credit. I demand that you prove your UW beating cashback card claim. Let's see this claim. Let's see a link.

    Er, its summer, so your 'pay as you' monthly bill should be very small. The vast majority of our gas usage is obviously used for heating through the winter. I think you will be paying more than 'a bit extra'.


    And you're paying £1345 a year for gas and electric? :eek: Crikey, your winter gas usage must be huge, man!! But, wait, it wasn't last Winter, the coldest for years, as you were bragging how comparitively little your were using (less than 7000 kwhs over the coldest quarter IIRC). Or maybe you have your own Hadron Collider in the conservatory and your leccy usage has gone ballistic? I'm beginning to believe your £1345 per year G&E figure is similar to Quentin's infamous cash back card. And proving impossible to get you to verify. Peas in a pod.

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??

    I've no control on what Quentin posts. Though I would appreciate your thoughts on what I've outlined previously. If you claim you have already told me, just post the link, ta.


    Don't be frightened of Quentin, it's not like you're married to him, is it?

    Quentin has cleared off again. Scurried back into the hole from whence he came no doubt. Wonder if we will ever get a link to the cashback card.

    I don't mind people making a mistake. I am fair minded. However, if he wishes to blatantly lie, that's different. To then not own up to a mistake makes things worse. To then openly accuse someone else without warrant shows him up for what he is.

    Do you actually read my posts, or do you suffer from a yet undiagnosed memory condition? I've already explained how and why my predicted energy usage has changed. Yet to further the UW disinformation line you use, and possibly because it makes your entire post absolute nonsense, you fail to mention it. Carmine, more effort is required to discredit me, must try harder mate.;)

    Going to give me your 'independent' thoughts on how to use your discount card to maximum effect, such as how I've outlined? After all mate, you are independent, or so you claim, yet you absolutely refuse to discuss this avenue on how to save money. Seriously, I value your money saving opinion, you have helped me in the past, of which I am truly grateful (see I'm not a guru, apology maybe?;)) So what is you opinion? Or do you not have one?

    Have you finally stopped trying to persuade people to move their energy away from UW Jime?

    Please give me a link where I have recommended an energy supplier to anyone? You make these 'catch all' statements yet back them with waffle, embarrassing. Now I asked carmine to comments or give me the link when he has apparently give his opinion of how to use the UW discount to maximum effect, and silence.

    I will leave the readers to decide why carmine is so reluctant to offer an opinion, and is more than happy to push the UW disinformation line in a sad personal vendetta.

    My discount card or yours? I'm using my discount card to maximum effect, jimexbox. I'm more than happy to pay more for my gas and electric than I would with the online deals in order to get all my calls paid for. The fact it's entirely legit as well doesn't keep me awake at night. You see, if I switched away to the cheaper deals for G&E, not only would I lose the unique stuff UW provide (like monthly billing, the ability to pay for exact usage each month, paper bill on the door mat as a reminder on usage every month, no exit fees, tie-in periods, risk of UW placing me on a silly fixed tariff automatically, no foreign call centres, ability to reduce bill further by referring like-minded individuals etc etc etc) but I would also lose the daytime and evenings inclusive calls to 01, 02, 03, 0845/0870, and crucially for us, those 2 intl. destinations that we ring).

    Here's a question for you (don't panic, it's not asking for any details of your money saving regime):

    If you made 5 daytime calls each of an average of 30 secs duration...how much would BT charge you just for these calls each month?

    Now I've answered you (again!) are you at least going to consider asking Quentin for details of this cash back card? It would appear you can get 5% on your shopping and, crucially, you and your wife wouldn't have to change your shopping habits one iota. £6,500 x 5% = £325. In your pocket. And you stop where you are for your utilities. Why wouldn't anybody want to do this, let alone a committed money saver? It's a no-brainer, mate. Ask him....
    Call me Carmine....
