Energy alternatives 8:15pm on 24 Nov 2008 Last year I tried to change energy suppliers to have both my gas and electricity with one company. My gas transferred but my electricity did not. I have since discovered I can have any electricity supplier I like as long as it is Scottish Power because of the type of White Meter heating I have. I therefore cannot change supplier and am completely at SPs mercy as regards pricing, and also have no choice as regards the tarrif I am on. The only way I could save money is by going on to direct debit but I am loathed to do this as when I was with British Gas they tried to charge me £25717.51 for gas! Competition, what competition?
HBOS: Burt and Mathewson to withdraw 5:54pm on 19 Nov 2008 I have been a Bank of Scotland customer for about 30 years and have yet to hear valid reason for this merger proceeding. It is meant to save some money but in comparison to the amount of money already put into the banking sector by the Government it pales into insignificance. It will only benefit the shareholders of both banks but be extremely damaging for employees in the short term, and damaging to competition and customers for ever more. I left the TSB when the Conservative Government sold it even although they did not own it. Now it looks like I shall be doing the same for the Bank of Scotland as I cannot be party to this. It defies belief that a Labour Government could be condemning so many people to the dole queue. Normally I can see the alternative view even although I don't agree with it, but on this occasion I am completely at a loss. Things changed so vastly afterwards the reason for the deal is no longer valid. The Labour Party can forget me voting for them ever again (I said the same about the Tories in the 1980s and have never done so since). I am trully and utterly ashamed of them.
