    I've always considered that a "HIKE" is a long walk, possibly in the country with big boots and a rucksack. But raising a price is either just  a price rise or an increase.
    I thought to smash something means you have destroyed it and is no longer of use ..

    Prices "smashed" lowered significantly?

    Sorry to be that person but can this be moved to a different forum. 

    This is a conversation about the meaning of a word, not about energy. 

    I'm struggling to find an affordable deal not knowing whether to lock in now or risk waiting a copy more weeks. 

    I've accidentally come back to this thread a few times looking for news and opinion every time someone posts a new comment. 
    If you want a thread moved then best bet is to report it - there is a “move, merge or split” option. Similarly, if looking for help on a particular question you are best to start your own thread rather than adding it to a different one - particularly when that different thread is unrelated to your issue in many ways! 

    As far as deals go - right now there aren’t really any that will be any better than the standard variable rate. As far as I know there are no fixed deals being offered really - and there will certainly be none that will be cheaper than you would be paying on the SVR throughout most of this year.
