i agree 100%. For local elections I always vote for the person; in my case it will be for an Independent candidate (currently in post !!)

I'd be glad to get my bill. In early Feb had the card through the door for meter readings, filled in the details, left on door for collection. 4 weeks later, no bill, so phoned them up, bill is in post BUT with estimated readings. Well I flipped, not paying on an estimate when I filled in the card. Please send revised bill, well it'll be up to 10 days before I get said bill. They are a complete waste of effort.....waste of time and money paying an employee to go round to deliver the cards then collect them next day when they dont use the data :angry:

I did consider going late night shopping last night, but the rain put me off. I'm guessing I'm not the only one to make such a decision.

Tossers the lot of them. Always moving the goalposts.... May be better to avoid all pension schemes and do your own thing and always being in control of when you get the money. You cannot trust governments not to change the goalposts on a regular basis.

I have one too, but it's not a problem cos there's one underneath where the excess water goes. So not really a problem so far. Long may it continue!!! I guess I'm more at risk from flooding from street drains cos they are all clagged with muck and hence flooding will occur....... Do councils ever clean out street drains?????

No I do not deserve to be overcharged, but I choose NOT to pay by direct debit and hence have minimal control over what I am charged. I do not trust the energy firms with my bank details so they can take what they want from my account.

I know I can save £100 by paying monthly by direct debit, but I choose not to do so. I prefer to pay quarterly for the gas/ electricity I have actually used, not some estimate of what I might have used.

No,bmi around 24

Certainly my kids always have the above available at all times, but one will always eat breakfast whilst the other does not. I guess it's about freedom of choice.

I never ate breakfast as a kid and I still don't. I have 2 children, one of whom always has breakfast and the other who doesn't. I think it depends on your metabolism. I will only have a hot drink first thing and I may eat later in the morning, but not always before lunch time.

I'm similar to Timak in that I try to ensure that there is between £500 to £1000 in my current account at month end. It helps to cover any unexpected bills.

I think it will remain at 0.5% this month. However I think ultimately interest rates will rise.
