It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.

    Hi @ariarnia (much missed ... good to see you back) ...

    I'm sure you've read recent threads.

    My takeaway has been:
    - fixes and SVT forecasts show marginal differences and can be considered 'noise' in the grand scheme of things with a lot of major influences (war, inflation, political change) being known unknowns 
    - the majority, of those expressing a view, are in favour of taking the supplier's offered fix
    - wise voices see the benefit of fixing being that of peace of mind, knowing the prices for the next few quarters, rather than for money saving reasons.
