The easy way to avoid them is to disconnect from the grid. I suspect this will not be cost effective. That's the point I'm not plugged into the grid My meter hasn't changed in 7 months and they know it hasn't I'll switch suppliers when I get home anyway because EON are robbing b*stards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once paid for, free food, free entertainment, free medical care, cheaper than living at home.... I'm not extravagant by any means, but reckon my energy bills and food etc. for January, February and March are well in excess off £2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you could live very comfortably on a cruise ship for £80 a day I met a guy in Thailand who was a retired soldier living off his pension He had a pretty comfortable live but he would struggle to make ends meet in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only way to avoid standing charges. Turning the electric/gas off at the fuse box/master switch/tap isn't the same thing. Some charge a fee, some don't, however fees to reconnect are usually hefty and if you are renting you can generally forget it.
