    Oh.
    I must have got that one spot on.
    Carmine appears to have spat the dummy.

    Any one else care to enlighten me if I wasn't?
    Which part of Carmine's post was relevant to a) my post or b) any other part of this thread?

    To ignore me, not exactly the most prolific poster on this thread seems extreme.

    If I had carmines time or inclination I would be interested to look through this whole long and boring thread to see just how many of his posts were relevant and not just posting stupid pictures, talking about 4p curry sauce or posting links to "deals" on TVs etc. Mainly just trying to divert attention away from the high prices he pays for gas and electricity.

    But I just dont have that much time on my hands...

    Its such a blessing to be on carmines 'ignore list', I consider it a gift. Now when I make a post, whether he agrees or not, I don't have to contend with personal puerile drivel which emanates from his keyboard. So cheers for not reading my posts.:T

    At the rate carmine is ignoring MSE members, he will have to register his own 'sock puppet' to have an argument with.

    UW give you the option for either (actually both), tom. I get a paper bill that is replicated on my online account with them. You can opt out of paper billing but I haven't yet on account of it being a novelty i haven't experienced for a few years, lol.

    Ah the 'triple guarantee' paradox, which excludes onlines tariffs, but UW offer online billing.

    The question for any onlookers is
    Are 24/7 free calls & the non-financial benefits of UW worth more to you than any (self calculated) difference between UW's tariffs and the cheapest onthe table?
    I think the question is:- Will Utility Warehouse work out best value for me personally in my own individual circumstances?

    I am sure he is suffering by paying less overall than he would to any other provider, you know, same as me. OTOH, I feel really good by paying less than I would to any other G & E companies.

    It's a matter of choice which others and yourself seem to ignore. I choose to get a paper bill every month and still pay less than I would with any other companies.

    I think it's even easier than that.
    (Before I get shouted down, I know that this is a money saving site)
    Do I want to pay for what this offers me, even if it isn't best value/cheapest?
    For example, I regularly pay more to buy real coffee beans than to buy instant and am quite happy to pay that premium.
    Others would be happy to pay a premium for monthly billing/one bill and no one can deny them that right.
    For some lucky customers, they may end up with the cheapest and the factors they were looking for.

    For me. Absolutely yes. Far more.
