I hate energy companies me. I actually f*cking hate them.

So they're offering me a fixed tariff that works out at about 50 quid a month cheaper than what I'm paying now and I'm currently on a variable tariff. So if they can offer me the exact same gas and electric for 50 quid cheaper a month then why the f*ck can't they let me have my gas and electric for that price on my current tariff.

I'll tell you why; It's because they're filthy racketeering scum bags.

I've been with this company for about 20 years or so but in order to get this cheaper tariff I have to stay with them for 2 years or else pay an exit fee. Well I'll tell you something for nothing, that in itself is making me want to switch companies...the filthy hard faced robbing bastards.

And if they think they're gonna talk me into having a smart meter they can f*ck right off. I'm smart enough to read my own f*cking meter thank you very much.

I have their number blocked on me mobile so that helps a little.

They're telling me that I would have to agree to having a smart meter (if I'm eligible) in order to get these rates.

It's an absolute scandal

I'm annoyed with everything having to be "Smart" these days. How hard is it to turn a knob?

Are they allowed to do that?

It seems a bit dodgy and arm-twisty.

Yep, quite. If avoiding that is "smart" then there is no hope.

Well I was gonna phone them and tell them I don't want one but I want the tariff and see what they say about that.

Might be worth Googling around on the legalities of their arm-twisting - if it does turn out to be illegal then you can hit them with the big guns.

Just had a little tipple.42°100ml

Screaming out loud swearing at 1am.
Instead of relaxing, my whole day and night ruined.

Because of literal dog sh*t on the couch.
And I fricking touch it because it was dark.

F*** that damn dog.
Shouldn't fricking be in this damn house.

Well I'm in communication with them atm so we'll see what the outcome of that is before I plan my next move.
