    Cardew is taking a rather long time - even by his standards. You don't think he's had to have a lie down do you?

    It seems Cardew is having trouble understanding tariffs.

    Annual usage

    Gas : 5760 kWh
    Electricity : 1740 kWh
    Area : Yorkshire (HG1 5PP)

    See what you come up with, i'm all ears.

    That is very low consumption.

    Well according to energyhelpline for Yorkshire the cheapest supplier would be EDF On Line 5 and they would charge £368 pa.

    The cheapest UW tariff would be for their ‘standard user’ (makes you wonder who they consider to be a low user!) and would cost £470. So that makes UW 27.7% more expensive than EDF.

    Thanks, it confirmed what i'd just posted myself. So for me UW with a discount card would be cheaper in my circumstances, with their £100 off for new customers and a typical £100/week weekly shop. Agreed?

    I wonder what's taking him so long to answer you? :confused:

    The latest Which? mag has this comment:
    I thought you said that WHICH? is discredited? Or do you now say that their findings are valid?

    Where's the link to your Utility Warehouse pre payment card beating cashback card?

    2 can play at that game:


    New readers.

    UW have just about the highest Gas and Electricity prices in UK, just try any of the Comparison websites recommended by Martin to confirm the facts.

    If you wish use the 'Which' comparison network and that will show exactly the same that UW have just about the highest gas and electricity prices in UK.

    Which have stated the their gas and electricity is 20% more expensive than the cheapest.
    As somebody who stated that WHICH? methods are flawed, have you changed your mind and are you now saying that WHICH? offers valid advice?

    How do you explain the fact that a number of members using this thread pay less for their utilities than with any other company?

    Another independent report
    Are you now saying that WHICH? is alright after all?

    Welcome back Nige.

    It seems Cardew has stitched himself up - with the help of uptomyeyeballs. He hasn't even had the decency to acknowledge what upto worked out?

    It is not possible to state which is "the cheapest available tariff" for gas and electricity as it depends on several factors
    Now perhaps we are getting towards some agreement.

    Where have I said that? Your thoughts have let you down. Or you are trying to twist my words - perish that thought!

    While you are thinking, can you come up with any reason as to why your colleague/head parrott keggs sees this Which? comment regarding how much more expensive uw tariffs are as "useful"? (Yet also worries it is a "stumbling block" to getting gullibles to sign up for him to uw?)
