Some very confusing advice being offered here re the timer settings. Our complex of 47 flats all previously fitted with the old Comfortplus meters using a RTS was converted to smart meters over the past year. The meters installed by Scottish Power are White Meter 1 version. As said previously, the storage heaters were…

Just a follow up on this. Using the link given above I contacted the OPSS (Office for Product Safety and Standards) who regulate the WEEE scheme. I note below their reply. "We have investigated this matter and Argos have apologised for the misunderstanding. It is their policy in accordance to WEEE & battery takeback…

Thanks for all the information. I did read later that Currys are happy to recycle old electrical items from any store when buying. As it was, I took the kettle along to B&Q next day where they have a recycle bin for small electrical. Luckily the kettle did fit in the hole at the top of the bin. I have also emailed the link…

Yes, I will dispose of the old kettle elsewhere. I was annoyed at the attitude of the Argos staff - 4 of them had to gather together to discuss this. I was told ' how could I possibly expect them to dispose of other shops recycling' and offers to print out the policy, which I already had as shown above. I said that I…

Downdetector showed problem between 9.38 am and 10.53 am. I was able to log in after 11.

The card indicates that the previous meters (numbers shown) were replaced by the present meters in 2011.

to answer some of the points raised earlier about my meters photo The box on the right is the rts. (It's marked 'property of Scottish Power') The two meters beside it are: on left, meter controlling standard comfortplus circuit and the middle one controls the comfortplus control circuit. The system is certainly not ancient…

here's a photo of our comfortplus control meter and rts set up. Card says meter was replaced in 2011 so must be more modern version.

If the digital one has no adverts, I wonder if the advertisers have asked for a discount due to reduced circulation. Saga printed magazine comes with more loose leaf adverts included than any other magazine I get.

Our bills from Scottish Power always come with invitation to change to smart meter. All meters in our retirement complex are Comfortplus. One resident gave in to pressure and arranged for smart meter, but when installer came he took one look at complex meter and said couldn't change to smart meter. You'll see in notice…

I wouldn't be surprised if Saga disappeared within the next 5 years. I bought £1000 of shares when they floated in 2014 and they are now worth £50. Having sold out too quickly with another company when share price fell and then rallied quickly after my selling, I held on to Saga shares as they fell. When Covid came I made…

I've just received the June issue which we were told would be our last paper one and was grudgingly accepting the need to look at the future issues on line. Should I be writing to complain or doing something 

To clarify points about Comfortplus above. I've been on Comfortplus in its 2 versions Comfortplus Control and Comfortplus White Meter in various parts of Scotland since it first came out. I'm on Comfortplus Control just now. The difference is that Comfortplus Control has 2 meters and each one has 1 rate, Comfortplus White…

Yes but surely there is some way for them to notify a pricing error

I've just had £180 off the cost of a cruise using Rewards For Forces. No problem.

Thanks. Didn't know I could request message to live agent in chatbot. However problem sorted. Got through to a very helpful agent on phone. They went through the same process as me using my account and got the same error message, so glad I wasn't doing something wrong. They have now found there is a 'bug' on the…

No. Tried using Edge as browser, but exactly same result. Did wonder if it was something wrong with my computer security settings but unlikely as I've had no problems with opening other accounts like regular saver and new savings account. Will just have to make branch appointment and wait for the 2 - 3 weeks. Can try…

I've tried Chrome and Firefox with same result - going in through log in and then selecting either apply - current account, or apply upgrade account but both get the same sorry no eligible account message. Strange that they know who I am as the 'sorry' message is addressed to me by name so it must be coming through my…

I've been trying all day to transfer from 123 Lite to Edge on line and getting nowhere. I go into online account, select Apply on line upgrade current account, select Edge, tick terms boxes and immediately get message 'Sorry' you don't have an eligible Santander current account'. Rubbish, I have had one for at least 8…

It's a Bosch. I think I'll follow the instructions on the packages as I've done in the past. Was surprised this morning when heating my cereal that the 900 watt microwave took the same time as my previous small 800 watt model. Expected to be able to reduce the time. I'll have to watch what happens when packaging gives 2…
