    Despite lots of googling still haven’t found out anything about the Mayo match that was going on today so if anyone can enlighten me I’d be grateful. Just being nosy now 😆

    I'm more worried about your googling, I literally just put 'mayo match' in 😂

    Just tried that and yes all the information I needed 🤣 Not good for the blokes in the local though, bet they’ll be drowning their sorrows right now 😬

    We did too, @Sun_Addict. I checked their online account balance tool (based on the records they have of our energy use) & even their own figures indicated that a large monthly increase (of over 60%) was not necessary. We too were in credit. Defo worth contacting them. I opted to increase our payment a little (my choice) but refused to pay what they were asking as there was simply no evidence it was necessary.

    Forgot to add - I had an email from 0ct0pus today saying they're putting up my monthly direct debit by £20. Really - I'm £425 in credit and this amount will build up over the summer months. I've sent them an email to ask why they think this is right when I'm so much in credit. 
    you can go online and just reduce it to whatever you like.  Hope they are not going to put ours up, as we are not that much in credit.
