I reckon weve entered into another Ice Age, but the Government don't want to tell us incase we stop paying our National Insurance, and start collecting seacoal again, as nobody will be able to pay their fuel bills in the next quarter.

Global warming is the biggest con ever.

Spot on, its all a load of BS

i didn't realise we had so many enviromental experts on this board

Thought this was going to be a thread about the ice age filums.

p.s. ice age 2 is the best.

You would have thought with all the hand wringing Liberals about on here that would warm the place up!

they can fu-ck off if they want more money off me on my monthly budget payments. I tell them what I've used anyway - I never, ever let the meter man in
I got caught out last month when I answered the door to him!!!
I said, "The bloke who lives here has gone out and I was watching the house while he's out, but the dog might go for you if I let you in to read the meter. I daren't get hold of the dog like so you'll have to call back."

Ha!ha!

I phone in the readings myself.
I have a reason for doing this - until the readings I give to them slowly catch up on the real readings. This is cos I was on a default tariff and used about six months worth before I realised. So I'm hijacking a load of gas and electric units I used at the high tariff, into the contract low price tariff.
I would have owed them an extra 700 quid otherwise!!!
It's going to take a lot longer though, the amount of gas I've had to use recently!!
The energy companies love this weather, and so do the Govt - they get their increased tax take because of higher usage

Good thinking!!

I'm using £20 quid a week on gas at the moment, old house, prepay meters, it's an expensive game, can't wait to welcome to the board out of here in april!

I did something a little similar a couple of years ago when the prices first started to go up. I phoned in a git high reading for gas and electric so they billed me for having already used it at the lower price and I paid them what they thought they were due. Now I'm slowly letting the real readings catch up and paying the old lower prices for what I'm using now.

[ x ] Self proclaimed cleverst fella in world doesn't realise that last year's reductions didn't take the prices back below the levels they were before the rises of several years ago when I paid up and makes a bit of a tit of himself.

Apology accepted, it's good to see that you can sometimes accept when you're wrong.

I have it on good authority that both of your fathers are exactly the same height.

Just thought i'd slip that one in there before one of you said it.

HTH

yeah but my dads cocks bigger

Your only 28 how'd you manage it?

Anyone else with e-on?

Are they expensive or is it worth changing?

Look up ^^^^^

Picture scene Sat Jan 1st '10', 9.15am, post full lash session,knock,knock, I wake (the dragon dead to the world, as per normal),who can that be?, New Years day, must be the rozzers, cars been broken into, family grief, opens door to be met by green suited Meter-plus man, dont know what my face was like (as I did'nt have a Sky camera-yuk,yuk) I mumble the words "youre having a fuppin laugh", me stood there dishevelled pyjama bottoms plus obligatory semi, he cowers sorry mate, then proceeds to ask question only a dimwit would "have'nt got u up have I".

Luckily car is hard up against garage door (which he needs to be in to read meters), "I'd have to move car back mate for you to get in", proceed back thru' house and suggest shouting figures through the garage door to him which he agrees to- RESULT.

So if I gave a high meter reading at the end of 2006 or beginning of 2007 I'd have paid which prices? That's right, the 2006 ones because I gave them the reading when they notified of an upcoming price increase (that's before the increases took effect).

I'd be careful with that suitcase if I were you, you'll probably end up taking it yourself and only realising your error when it's too late...
