My 2 year fixed tariff ends in April so I thought I’d do a price comparison. 

Currently pay £220 a month and built up credit. Cheapest now is £560 !!!!!! That’s nearly £7k a year !!!!!! Fucking hell !

Fully insulated house, double glazing, all light bulbs are energy saving, smart radiator thermostats, modern boiler set to 22 degrees etc. Wife works from home but heating off and a fancy super efficient inverter heats the only room she’s in.

This is on top of the NI increases, council tax hikes etc. which are coming. Jesus. 

Has anyone else done one recently ?? I hope I’ve done something wrong otherwise that’s no fancy holiday for us this year and we’ll be some of the lucky ones. Some people are going to be fucked.

This countries going to have some serious trouble ahead and how will some cope ??

Is it true that 25% of the energy prices is “green tax” ??

Is it the Russians behind this ??

And this isn’t just a Tory thing - it wouldn’t be much different with any of them in charge. 

Does she have a sybian rider which she uses all day whilst I’m at work ?

Morecambe, well, Heysham if we’re being pedantic, home of the largest, or if not the largest a fairly large Nuclear Power Station. How guilty can they possibly be?

I missed @Traf getting cancelled.

Sometimes the small print says it's fixed rate unless it has to be raised due to powers outside the companies control.  Fingers crossed yours isn't pal 😉 

Seen nothing yet

Now would be a very good time to seriously look at renewables for your house.

The knock on for energy prices even here in the uk is going to be astronomical. Just read an internal email from an energy provider and they are thinking next winter could be devastating.

My payments have gone from £60 to £146. Be cheaper to do a gammon special and fuck off to Spain for the winter.

Using about 3 quid a day.. last weeks energy use was 23 quid. 

Despite this our direct debit has been increased to £220 a month. 

Stock up on those thermals and jumpers

When we moved into this house we're in now in November '20, our winter fuel bills were fucking huge - we then got thermostatic valves on all the radiators, it's actually made a huge difference. I suppose these days most people probably have them, but if not, then that's something worth looking at definitely.

Failing that, stock up on vests and hats

Most people have them, but leave them on the highest setting!

Im moving out with the kids next week as my house is being ripped to bits. The 1970s baxi backboiler will be no more.

Flushing the gunk from the system helps a lot, you'll be amazed how much shite there can be in old radiators. I'd recommend new radiators from Screwfix and flushing the pipework alongside some good quality TRVs.

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
