BigT all I know is having lived in very similar houses (provided by the council) back in the day, the ones with meters in them were waaaay more expensive to run than the ones I had where I paid via direct debit. Source: sitting in the freezing cold for many a night because I couldn't afford to put anything on the meter.

It begs the question why they have different tariffs for PAYG + DD users if the comparison costs are the same. They just aren't.

 A commission has to be paid out to the Point Of Sale network operator and to the retailer who takes the transaction, this will be a big proportion of the profit, The energy companies won't want to lose out on their own profits, so the end user has to take the hit.

I get my facts straight from the energy company:


Payment method - Fixed Monthly Direct Debit 
 
Unit rate - Normal  13.766p per kWh 
 
Standing charge - 16.422p per day


Payment method - Prepayment 
 
Unit rate -Day  17.735p per kWh  Night  8.306p per kWh 
 
Standing charge - 26.019p per day




Also:

Fixed monthly direct debit payments, where you pay a fixed estimate each month, can usually save you £75/year as companies are sure you won't default and they earn interest on any overpayments. So if you can do this, go for it.

I obviously got a better deal then😄

And they hijack the middle button so if you middle click to open a new tab, it simply loads the content in the tab you're viewing, overwriting what you were halfway through. Dieeeeee.

Hopefully we will be out by this time next year and back to being a self employed nation.

What's wrong with giving your Thread a proper title?

Is it really that difficult to come up with a few words in the English language that briefly describe what lies within?

I understand the creative titles such as "And I thought I looked cool fpv'n" and "you wait all day for a train to come...". They're smart, they're funny... they're not boring... I'm not asking for those threads to be titled "a video of me wearing goggles" or "a video of 2 trains", because the owners of those threads are smart enough to be creative whilst still alluding to what the video is actually going to be about.

But attempting to be SOOOOOO creative and "artistic" as to completely avoid any words or descriptive language that may convey the content of the video is just taking the mickey now.

Where would this forum be if we just started randomly naming threads. would you give a thread about building a tricopter the title "Big yellow fluffy bunnies"

No you wouldn't

"Hey, I know... I'll give my thread such a silly title that people will click on it purely out of curiosity, then I've tricked them into also watching my video... yay for youtube views!!!"

Whoop! I'm creative!  ;D
