Despite this our direct debit has been increased to £220 a month. This is what I received by email before the current Putin bun fight: Your energy bill will be £578 more per year (equivalent to £11 per week) for gas and £495 more per year (equivalent to £10 per week) for electricity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend new radiators from Screwfix and flushing the pipework alongside some good quality TRVs. Good advice 👍 rads aren’t all that expensive and make a massive difference in terms of efficiency and aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never comes down as quickly as it went up, but it will do once the cheaper oil.is processed. No doubt some forecourts have profiteered though as I'm sure some of them were wanging prices up quicker than they were having deliveries.

I think the going rate is 0.45 for the first 10,000 miles and then 0.25 after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap is the top rate per unit they can charge. Shouldn't affect fixed rates- when we take a fixed on, usually we pay a bit more initially and that's the gamble. Can't then wang the cost up later.

Racketeering twat here is charging £2.01 a litre for diesel. Fucking go to nearest Tesco and it will be £28 cheaper to fill your tank. On reflection, that Bertolt Brecht knew some shit.........

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted March 10, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2022 I was on a fixed until the company went bang and my monthly premium went up 40%. Come April it goes up another 53% and likely another 30-40% come October. So, that is £100 a month for gas/elec to probably about £290.
