If you owned a diesel car 20% of diesel comes from Russia (maybe more).

But most, if not all the food you have is delivered to the shop by a diesel powered vehicle.

Cant beat the old 4X4 motors my Mitsubishi is 31 years old so my diesel bill can be reduced by half simply because it can be run on cooking oil 50/50 mix and I have half price diesel I just have to ask the local curry shop to hold onto their old cooking oil and the fumes coming out of the exhaust will smell fantastic I do like my curry

Yes. But my comment was that I filled up with petrol. I said nothing about the manner in which all the **** we buy from Amazon and all the food we eat makes its way from farm or factory to table.

Anyway, saw this in The Economist and it reminded me of you 'orrible lot.

Does this apply if you are on a fixed deal still and/or have one of those smart meter things?

I think it’s only if you are out of contract. But apparently applies to all meter types.

you'd think smart meters wouldnt need the oversight...?
Domestic heating oil up 60% here since Aug last year !

To add insult to injury, it's snowing!

More insult - all major suppliers websites are down as everyone is trying to submit meter readings today (I've not got a smart meter) before the prices go up.

I've just Direct Messaged Shell Energy on Twitter with mine as that's what they suggested. Lets see...

And remember not to 'over-read' the meter as that would be considered as fraud!

I sometimes put see 7's instead of 1's and 9's instead of 6's. Eyesight not what it was

You can go on the energy company's website tomorrow or the day after to add you reading for today, they ask you went it was taken.

You just have to read the meter today. not necessarily submit it. (this is a bit like toilet rolls and petrol!)

 

[DaveT]

Just tried again on Shell and up came the page to send meter reading.

All done.
