Gary Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Certainly hasn't - just very quiet today - even noticed facebook is a lot quieter than normal - any suggestions where everyone has gone - is this the main weekend for everyone fleeing our superb summer?

algy Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Mot been on for a while - doesn't seem to be much going on - you must all be missing my banter and charm! I would think energy and brainpower (what bit there is on here) has been occupied with the the riots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Contradiction in terms as we are posting on same. OK then, big shops are also very quiet this week - probably holidays, but if anyone has stocks and shares they may have committed suicide.

Brendam. Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm back for a moan, so it may liven up a bit now After scanning the Warrington Worldwide magazine 6 or 7 weeks ago, I rang Utilities Warehouse ( as advertised in the mag)to make some enquiries about their business, prices, etc. The man who answered the phone to me was pleasant enough, and agreed to post information to my sister and I as we wanted to look into getting electricity, broadband, etc cheaper. We are STILL waiting!!!!! Needless to say, we've given up and will make enquiries elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hiya Brendam... nice to see you back on here It's soooo annoying when people say they are going to do something and never do eh? I always thought UW came round in person to discuss what they could save you rather than sending info out by post though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A visit would have been very nice Dizzy so that we could have discussed it together and made sure we understood all the points concerned, but yes you're right, I find it really annoying when people can't keep their promises. Brendam. PS Gary, the photo on my profiile is ancient, where's the other one that used to be on the old forum profile????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually promote this service to our readers so I am obviously concerned to hear of this problem which I will raise. If you are already sorted though there is not a lot we can do now.

I think we'll probably end up on "Compare.com"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem with Compare is they take a nice slice of commission for making the recommendations so you don't always get the best deal - just the best deal from the companies willing to pay a slice to go Compare! PM me your contact details and I will ensure some makes sure you get looked after properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bring you up to date Gary; the lovely Andy visited my sister and I this morning as promised, explained everything about his business, how it works, how they manage to be cheapest, etc. He had also prepared a written Quote for us both, which, when compared to a very recent electric statement from Scottish Power, was a winner by a mile!! Utilities Warehouse was (roughly) half price. If, when I've studied everything in more detail, everything is cheaper for me then I'll definitely be changing. Thank you for your help Bren.

The best thing is if you switch to UW - and for some reason it isn't right for you (which I doubt) you are not tied into a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
