    12m fix appears to have dropped in price slightly eg for Southern region gas is now 6.86 p/kWh

    Obviously you need to do some sums to work out if it's worth fixing at that price considering the cap is dropping from April

    Depending on your usage you may save even after taking the £75 exit fee in to account

    Same for my dad he has British Gas stamped through his veins like the seaside rock. They've never let him down (love him to bits but what a stick in the mud lol)

    If she’s happy, and can afford the additional cost that paying that way incurs, then at her age, there are probably better battles to fight!
