i just wanna say something ive read all the posts and cardew comes under a lot of flak etc for what ? hes stating that uw prices are high (in his opinion) hes not forcing anybody to believe his statement as im sure the facts speak for themselves. im not a friend of cardew but it seems to me the uw sales people dont like free speech if not then dont contribute to the posts simple...
keep up good work cardew always a pleasure to read your posts:beer:

Thanks, as something of a student of history I am well aware that Flak was pretty ineffective!! - and so it is with UW variety.

You will note that the attacks on 'the anti UW faction' are always personal and always attempting to discredit individual posters. They never wish to address the central issue of UW gas and electricity prices.

This website is widely read and for years has been swamped with inaccurate, misleading or simply lying posts singing the praises of UW. Without people posting the truth about UW's extremely high gas and electricity prices, a lot more people would be join the ranks of the duped 'friends and family' of UW salesmen.

well your only to right why should people be duped into goin with the most expensive company ? these uw people they are all talk oh you get discounts etc but they wont break it down ie the charges etc. there should be a law to say that you have to provide the full information regarding the tariffs so that people dont get duped and ripped off. for instance say a uw electricity tariff costs 12p kwh and a random electricity tariff costs 16p kwh (but with the uw tariff you have to pay 10 pounds standing charge amonth and then you have to use the uw card which also incurs a charge well then uw is just misleading customers then isnt it ? by only sayin oh it costs 12p kwh so its cheapest well itsnot so its wrong

No I don't.

I have never worked in any shape or form in the Utility supply industry.

I stated quite clearly why I am suspicious about your contributions a few posts ago. The whole tone of your initial post is typical of UW salesmen attempting to set-up a situation; and through experience of scores of similar sounding attempts, we get very cynical. That is not being "immediately leapt upon".

You have equally implied that the anti - UW faction might/must have a vested interest in that we work for other Utility companies.

So it's ok for you to state that you cynically think I am in some way associated with the company in question (you jumped on me), but i'm not allowed to establish the integrity of those posting here? Is that not unbalanced? You can question my integrity, but I can't question yours without being smeared. How delightfully dictatorial.

Because he refuses to accept that others have choice. Despite the "high prices," I pay Utility Warehouse less for my gas and electricity than I would to any other company or combination of companies. I manage this because I use the pre payment card to good effect. I choose this method of saving my money because it fits in with my previous shopping habits and I can not be bothered with switching companies every few months or whatever period is required. I am happy with my choice. If it suits me, it can suit others too. Cardew refuses to accept my choice as a viable option. He apparently dos not use a cashback card. That's fine by me as it is his decision. Why oh why can he not accept that other people are different to him and want different things?

I am a Utility Warehouse independent distributor and the views I express may not be shared by the company.

Are you sure Nigel ?

I thought i recall that Cardew agreed the cashbackcard was a good deal for those who used the card partners ,but suggested that people could save lots more by paying less for their energy from a cheaper supplier,and getting another service from UW and still use the cashback card to their advantage.

Or was i imagining this ?

Type 'Utility Warehouse' into Google and you find this thread. MSE is the first discussion site that comes up. What is surprising about that, Boxing Day or not?

So what is your credibility? Surely as a UW rep you should declare yourself as such.

You are right that typing utility warehouse in to google, this thread does come up, but it is NOT the first and it is on page 6!!!! hardly easy to find.

Err, I'm not the one giving advice here! You lot are trying to, but failing because we don't know if you have hidden agendas or not, therefore your 'advice' isn't worth anything to anyone. Your Google results depend on your search criteria you stupid man!

I notice our dear UW friend Keggs returns from time to time to thank pro uw posters,but no longer has the courage to contribute his self.

Dear bendtoy

I do not contribute to a site any longer because it has become just a slanging match. It can in no way be considered a valid site for those looking for advice.

It is a site which used by one set of people simply as a means to slagging off the UW. Why any ID or customer would wish to continue trying to defend the UW against these people is now beyond me. The anti UW faction lost the arguments a long time ago but feed on the pro people who still contnue to want to act like martyrs to te cause. IMO it is simply not worth it.

The site to me is a joke so I will treat it like one. As Quentin is the biggest joke on here, then I feel quite at home from time to time to use him or her as my lance. Call me cruel if you wish but it gives me a break from other things I do.

So bendie don't feel too hard if you've missed me - I haven't gone too far away but I won't get involved in an UW discussion again. Period.
