I thought they were doing some "Price freeze" thing for the next 10 years?

 

[custard]

IIRC someone told me you have to pay a monthly fee for the price freeze!

Worse thing is that British gas is actually owned by the FRENCH .

 

[arc]

looks like i'll have to arrange to have the gas and electric cut off for march onwards then

If you go with N-power, you get free cuddly toys of their little blue and yellow glow-ball thingies I'm tempted to change to them just for that

 

[dave]

Both my gas and electricity are on pre-payment meters, so I can't get any of the discounts for paying by direct debit.
