    Vinny claims to just be helpful when getting gullible friends to sign up to uw.
    If he's signing friends up to UWs' expensive energy products yes he is immoral but we don't know who he is actually signing up do we ?

    If he's signing up non-friends who approach him it's not his job to tell him that there are cheaper companies. Just the same as it's not the job of the person on the till at Sainsburys to tell you Asda are cheaper for those beans we all love.

    Cardew thinks he's ok though, so who are we to argue.

    What a sensible approach; another convert to common sense!;)

    Remind me again, how do your alleged tenants pay for their gas and electric?

    And how could we trust your maths, you think you registered on here at least 9 months ago, lol. You seem to be ignoring that particular question (you and Cardew are extraordinarily similar in your modus operandi. Related?)

    I think we can all see who the 'busy fools' are on this thread. Their post count (20,000 between them) indicates they spend more time hiding behind a keyboard on here than is healthy for a normal individual. Get a life the pair of you! :rotfl:

    AKA "I cant think of anything else to have a dig at so lets look at posting history/number of thanked posts"

    Pathetic

    Take a look at your Idol Carmine, he has only been a member here half the time of Cardew but has more than half the amount of posts so by your reckoning Carmine must be more of a "busy fool" than Cardew?

    Oh, there are plenty of things to have a dig at, but Q + C are just so patronising and sad that they're the obvious ones. I'll add you to the list though. Don't know Carmine from Adam. In fact, I can't recall the last time I replied to a post by him, and am not inclined to spend hours trawling through posts to find out like you trainspotters would.

    Just as a matter of interest, do you feel that the ruling that you should declare you are a UW salesman doesn't apply to you?

    It would help others understand why you don't want to address UW high prices, but want to concentrate on number of posts.

    There is only one person on here that trawls through peoples posting history (sometimes going back 2 years) and its not Quentin, Cardew or me for that matter!

    I'm surprised he has time to spot trains between all his posting on here, shopping at Sainsburys, eating 4p curry sauce and making lots of daytime calls though...

  • Ah pond life strikes again with petty sarcasm and ridiculous jealousy

    duh ! with their own money and despite repeated suggestions from UW salesmen that I could benefit personally from signing them up to UW they continue to save money by not having to pay way over the average for their energy needs.
    And how could we trust your maths, you think you registered on here at least 9 months ago, lol.
    Actually I first joined around the same time as you, had other things to attend to for a few months and came back with this new nick. I'm surprised you didn't realise that already, I of course knew who you were. we just didn't cross paths so much in the past because until I started getting pestered by UW salesmen I never participated in this section of the forum.

    Now about this nasty habit you have of trying to change the subject, when are you going to reveal enough information for people to actually give a true comparison on costs for your challenge ??.

    If you were willing to spend more than about £580 on the cashback card in the many partner stores per year then it would mean you would be in profit because this covers the cost of running the card and the UWDC membership fee.
    not sure you realised I said UW were £1900+ more expensive, I would have to spend around £40k pa on the card to break even, (I couldn;t get close to that even including business expenditure), not £580.

    Be interesting what sort of usage you have but I presume you are currently a landlord with a number of properties so obviously very high usage combined over a number of properties. Are any of the houses using economy 7..
    Those on PAYG, which is the majority of them, are registered in my name, hence the numetous cold calls asking me to switch. Everyone else can choose who they want as long as it's on a dual fuel basis, none are on E7.

    my personal usage for the year to date (rounded to nearest 100)
    7500kwh el & 48000kwh gas., less than 10% is claimed as business usage.
    Business broadband is SDSL, personal is Virgin 20Mbps £17pm
    TV is freesat, I don't watch a lot of TV so Virgin TV package is a waste of money
    Mobile 500mins unlimited texts and free internet £20pm with 3

    I've been out today and signed up 2 customers who are now very happy, and both from referrals from satisfied customers who have been with me for years. I say that just to rub it in your face.

    I came back and noticed the same keyboard vigilantes with the same worthless accusations and false claims. Now I simply signed these 2 customers, it just proved how easy it to get customers for UWDC. No pressure required, they liked what was on offer and it fitted what they wanted. While I signed through the paperwork with them I started thinking how you could spend your time more constructively and actually do something useful with your life. No matter how much you try and knock UWDC or Distributors, no matter how many times you spread rumour or distort the truth or make false statements in order to mislead, it all just shows you for what you are. I am off growing a financially secure business and helping other do the same. English people have a habit of wishing they were upper class and more important than they really are but I think Sigmund Freud summed them up quite accurately.

    I make that a score sheet of 2 to me and 0 for you lot.

    UWDC will soon have over 1,000,000 happy customers within the next few years.

    What are you doing with your life?

    Before I go, they already know of this thread because I showed them. They already know I earn money from it because I showed them the business opportunity. In fact they liked the way the business worked.

    From experience I know the replies that will come to this post. The thing is it's only you who has an issue with it, I don't have issues because I actually know exactly what it is and know what I am talking about, so I guess whatever you say is irrelevant. Each day I keep getting closer to obtaining objectives I have set in life. If you don't like that, well, you don't seem to be achieving much in life anyway so what exactly is your viewpoint worth. To be specific, I target this at the UWDC detractors in general.

    I went out and had a good night out tonight.

    Proud UWDC Distributor and long term customer.
