And yes everyone coming off fixes at the moment is going to get a shock.

Yes I definitely got a shock  when I came off my fixed rate a few months ago.

Just a word of warning for anyone with Eon - just logged in and they have decided to reduce my payment by £67 to account for the Government support payment that starts next month. I would rather build up a credit so I have changed it back to the existing amount.

I’ve just checked and my supplier (Octopus) have done the same so thank you for mentioning it.

My sons with British Gas, they’ve just advised him to lower his payments.

Don't supposed you remember the day/time this one was on?

 

Sounds like it's worth finding on catch-up and having a listen.

I can't remember,  sorry.  It was when I was driving

Lots of crap in the media atm on these subjects, an 'expert' on the telly the other day claimed that cooking a roast chicken and 4 veg in the oven would cost £4.10 at current rates, (and suggested people could cut the cost in half by using a microwave)

 

£4.10 is about 5-6 times the reality. (90 mins in an electric 2kwh oven at 27p/kwh is 60-80 pence)

Not forgetting also that they are also thermostatically controlled so would not use 2kw of power all the time.

They didn't go into the maths, that's a little too complicated for the target audience.
