We finally got our initial bills from BG, on a temp tariff as it was a brand new build.
Ended up staying with BG as the competition was only going to save me maybe £40 a year, and BG already was set up with working smart meters for leccy and gas, so I was happy to 'spend' £40 to not have to deal with any associated hassles of switching

That's all well and good, but it's not hassle

Seems smart meter installation can be a hassle at times, it was in our previous place (3 different meter installs over as many years
)
saw, new to me, edf energy add on tv
EDF Energy Generation Electric, everyone's welcome
thought these electric boards were illegal in public places eg footpaths, in the UK ? ... lots of tesla publicity, otherwise .

saw one in cambrdge the other day, speed did no look appropriate for the pavement.

1)They are illegal, but hopefully not for much longer.
2) Agree, they are not. They are fast enough to be and should be ridden in the same way as a bike. E.g. cycle lanes and the road.
There are loads of them flying about in cities like Paris, Los Angeles, San Francisco etc. and the people that actually own them don't case too many issues. It's the abandoned for hire ones that clog up the pavements and a minority of people that do stupid things on them. I saw 3 people on an electric scooter when I was in Paris earlier in the year, weaving about all over the place because it was obviously difficult to balance (and slow due to weight!). I just don't understand how people think that sort of thing is acceptable.
The faster and more powerful e-mopeds should really be treated as a moped. What's interesting is that in Amsterdam mopeds used to be able to use the cycle infrastructure, I thought it was nuts at first but it seemed to work. That said they have banned it now.
I'm 100% behind legalising them but I'd really need to think twice about letting companies like Lime and Bird lose on the streets offering those services. The non-docked bikes are bad enough as it is for being abandoned in stupid places or vandalised.

When switching don’t forget to use topcashback or Quidco even if it’s just a cash back fee for going to uswitch. Mine was £35 from topcashback. Couple of clicks is all it takes.

If not beaten to it, sent.

Really should set up some sort of rota, I can't be the only one feeling a bit butt-hurt about referrals.

Interesting suggestion. Earlier up the page I think someone ended up with two/three in a row (granted, I've had a handful over the past year) so appreciate that view. Might be a challenge to manage, but might be able to set some guidelines/rules - assuming people will *read* the OP.
Damnit!
Kol must get free energy
I've had about a month of energy, that is true!

I've seen it on other forums where the first post of a dedicated thread has everyones links in. Then when someone uses a link, they comment on the thread saying so, OP then updates the first post with how many uses each link has had. It's not fool proof but might work.

Maybe a yearly poll?
If you use a code, quote and vote, then others can see which codes need some love
Soldato
I think that's a very good solution. Which mods do we need to speak to to make it happen?
Man of Honour
I'll run it by the team. How would that work exactly? The more I have the easier it will be to discuss.
Caporegime
Might be a bit of admin, but what about letting people post their codes for the first week of each month, then lock those in for the poll. Or some variation. Also limit it to users with at least some history on the site.

A new thread for referrals, everyone trusts their links to the OP (who I guess has to be a mod to run the poll), OP runs a poll with the links, when someone uses the link they vote on the poll for which one they've used.
