  1. My energy provider loves to tell you things like this.

    What they don't tel you is that in that £9.45 and £8.30 figures... is the very pertinent fact that £7 of each one is just from the standing charges... 70p and 30p per day for each utility.

    So it's even more impressive because we;ve reduced gas and electric use from £2.45 in an entire week, to £1.30.

    But fuck those standing charges... £365 a year just to be allowed to receive electric and gas, whilst they boast about record profits and being 100% renewable energy providers... whilst charging you as if 100% of the electric was generated by gas.

    Last year the bill was £1197 for the whole year... Almost 1/3 of that is standing charges.

  6. I have been sent my renewal documents for my #RAC cover.
    The price has increased from an already excessive £329 to £442!
    I think that will be a no.

  11. Energy companies have slowly normalised this sort of thing.
    New customrs are automatically put on payment schemes where they pay in advance (over the summer) for energy used in the winter
    Finding a way to pay as you go is not easy

    And this is what happens when you ask for a refund of overpaid money

  16. Channel 4's Dirty Business campaigners call for public to stop paying water bills over sewage dumps
    The group that has worked for many years to expose the illegal practices involving the dumping of untreated sewage by the water companies say we shouldn't be paying for services we aren't receiving

    I haven't been in many airports, about seven to ten different. What I can say is that Heathrow was the absolute worst, especially terminal 5.

    Everything disorganised to the effect of ripping off the unfortunate traveller. No real attempt to make the experience a good one. No comfort, too much commercialism.

    If I do get to make another trip, and it does look unlikely given the disaster of USA, I will never go near Heathrow willingly again.

  30. £71/kg for honey? Those bees must have been pretty special. I would imagine at that price they fly off the shelf, although not in the direction of my cupboard. We bought the cheap stuff, which being Waitrose was probably at least 20% more expensive than Lidl.

  35. Who did this? Was it Afghan refugees? Or was it rich men like Elon Musk? Men now telling the fascists to overthrow a democratically elected government.
