I don't think they will be unduly worried by that

Well, given that Omni got into trouble for unilaterally switching some high using customers away to other suppliers without their consent, probably not…

Can't see them paying any fines levied for that episode either.

Shorter, but Ofgem links tend to run long.

@MWT Thanks, but there is a way of hiding the ugly web link behind a proper English statement. I used to know how to do it, but I’ve forgotten. I’ve got some notes somewhere…

Sure, you can do that too, but I actually prefer people to see the link they are clicking on for safety:

This is is a link

Just use the link icon at the top of the text box where you type your reply and edit the text, or type your text first, select the text and then apply the link to it.

The link icon with say 'URL' when you hover over it.
