Cor, that was easy
There have been lots of stories over the past few days about very large rises in the medium-term wholesale market prices for gas and oil, and how that's likely to lead to increases of 40% or even more in domestic electricity and gas prices this winter.OK, I thought, it's already pricey enough, maybe I should do something about this. So I phoned my fuel supplier, gave them my account number, and said "Hello, I'd like some information about switching to a capped tariff please".
"Certainly" says the call centre bloke, *tappity tap* that will be £19.95 a year more expensive than the tariff you're on at the moment, and will be fixed at that price until October 2009.
"Bargain!" is what I thought. "Yes please" is what I said. A little bit more tappity-tapping from him and then "OK, that's all done for you. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
If only everything was as quick, simple, and inexpensive to sort out!
