Don't forget to use the communal spoon to eat.A communal pot of gruel, just don't ask for any more.
I just don't see why people think they shouldn't pay more for the things they want. You tend not to get things for free in life. Companies are fully within their rights to maximise profits. They're not a charity. Keeping warm in the winter certainly does not require heating to be on for long at all, maybe just enough to keep the chill off, assuming you find the UK cold to begin with. Layered clothing and blankets is a solution. Of course, someone wanting free or cheap gas wouldn't be happy with that solution, just like they're not happy about not owning a Ferrari.
**** CheeseWow please tell us more!
Where did I say second full time job? A second job though, sure.His solution in previous pages was that people get second full time jobs and that people are themselves are the reason they cant afford the rise in cost of living.
It largely depends on the weather this winter tbh. I'm paying half the cheapest fix rate that was available at the beginning of the year.I don't know even know if I should lock down or not as it will essentially double the amount of what I am paying currently.

unless you get a second full time job, in which case you should be rewarded with lukewarm gruel.You should be having cold uncooked gruel.
Are there? The usual pattern is they flood after they're closed, the air goes foul and the roof gets dangerous. That's why pits had regular inspections; once you stop those and the constant maintenance it's not easy or quick to get them restarted.there are mothballed coalpits that can be reactivated easily and quick
Im on SMETS1 with and E7 tarrif as im all electric in my house. It'll be fine as long as the Smart appointment is booked as an E7, the meter will just be configured to an SSC of 0151 or 0244 typically depending on the area and it alters which rate its recording on of its own accord. 0151 has an offpeak from 12:00am to 7am and 0244 is 12:30am to 7:30am if my memory serves me correctly.Has anyone had experience switching from an economy 7 radio teleswitch (RTS) meter setup to a smart meter?
My dad has recently moved into a flat without gas and an E7 RTS setup with storage heaters.
Apparently the signal for RTS meters will be switched off next year, requiring a meter replacement, otherwise the meter will end up stuck on one rate (probably the higher one). The signal tells the meter when to switch between rates, but also has a relay to a separate distribution board which powers up the storage heaters during the low rate.
All the energy company FAQs say replacing E7 meters with SMETS2 is fine, however it’s not clear if they will have the functionality to turn the heaters on during the low rate? Be a pain to add timers as they are all hardwired (the heaters themselves have no timer function, late 80s vintage).
Ive done this myself for several years now. Everything I can cut has been cut, everything I can switch has been switched, and every cashback incentive I can get has been got.today I started Going through bills and seeing what I can curtail.
