    All sounds good in theory but, surely, that assumes normal day to day fluctuations in price and that is most certainly not what what woud have been forecast and what we are going through at the moment.

    Insurance companies work on a similar principle but they have 'opt out' clauses in their policies for exceptional circumstances; something the 'futures' market generally does not have.

    We will just have to wait and see and hope that the politicians see commonsense in the very near future,

    Mind you, considering the politicians involved……

    It is said that there is a limit to everything. This cannot be true as everything has no limit!

    I made the switch to Outfox today for gas and electric.

    Looking at tracker price today it's 31.50 electric and 7.11 gas. Tomorrow will be higher I think.

    Outfox is 21.39 and 5.22 .

    I got my Octopus bill today but there is 1 more days billing to come as bill date is upto the 6/3/26.

    With wholesale gas prices up another 15% this morning I'd say there's a fair chance that tomorrow will be higher!
