Energy Prices (Strictly NO referrals!)

Ha, İ actually did say that and that's when he said once you actually have it or nearly have it call us as it takes 2 days to transfer. He did say you will need to provide proof etc etc. Lol.

Thing is this dude was by the sounds of it from an British call centre and more on the ball and harder to confuse. I would have pushed more but once he told me it take 2 days to switch I thought is true I can push for it soon once my current provider gets my electric readings via smart meter.

I switched to octopus last week, took 2 days. Straight onto SVR. They asked why I wanted to switch to them, I said I was considering an EV and that was enough. They said when I get the EV IF I do, they can move me to go or intelligent.
Quite keen to get onto Agile in the meantime though, but for that I think they need a certain period of half hourly readings with a level of reliability.

Weird, that is the exact tactic I went for. I guess it depends on who you speak to. Yeah agile seems good at the moment. Did you give them a referral code? :)
 
Octopus want a bigger segment of the market so yes they want to recruit ...they took on the Bulb customers after all (giving excess profits back to govt next 4 years)

for go /go faster, good for those on before EPG with a 12 month lock, but since EPG obviously it is subsidised, so come April, end of EPG, rates are anyones guess.
 
More record profits announced by the oil companies in the last 3 months. Shareholders getting increased payouts. Love the fact world leaders allow this to happen but who expected anything different….
 
How is it that octopus actually feel like a decent company in a sea of bog standard?

Are they going to become the biggest supplier over time?

yes benevolent purchase by octopus

The department claimed that the deal will “protect consumers and taxpayers” and “provides a stable new home for Bulb’s customers and 650 employees”.
Octopus said it is paying the government “above market value” to take on Bulb’s customers.

Yeah, its a lazy thing that idiots say. Like there is only unbridled capitalism or pure communism. Human beings are the worst and cannot be trusted with anything if it can be used to generate vast wealth or power. There needs to be far more oversight on how the rich and powerful behave.

Money talks. I was talking to someone about it this morning. Disgusting that they allow to cause problems at the bottom yet take more profits at the top while people panic below on paying bills and as you say world leaders doing nothing about it.
 
Down to 2 GU10s on kitchen light bar.

Don't think it'll be bright enough when it gets down to 1 so might be forced into buying some more.

Where did i say that? The Chinese communist party are not fully communist, they are just close enough to it as the person i quoted originally.

That's because the "World leaders" are employed by big business like Tech, Pharma and Oil. In the same way the tory party is employed by the private sector to transfer tax-payers money free of of tax to their companies.

The chinese communist party isn't even approaching communism. Never did and certainly hasn't for a very long time.

Any a response to someone saying that unbridled capitalism should "go to a communist country" is seemingly telling them that there is no other alternative but communism. If thats not what you meant, be more specific ;).
