    There are 28 million people all trying to get onto the websites at the same time, it is pretty obvious they will just crash. It is a wonder t'interweb (uk) is still up.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    My neighbour is adding a lot of units to their gas and electric to get them at the much lower rate . I told him the suppliers have the rights to reject any suspiciously high or low meter reads and that is probably what they will do .

    They should be careful that they do not increase the DD due to excessive use!

    Seems to apply to most suppliers. They had plenty of advance warning of what would be likely to happen yet appear to have done little to anticipate or allow for the situation. Managers who can't manage :(
