    Npower calls back says they were wrong to claim it is company policy not to allow change of meter, they can do it for £60 plus 2-3 weeks, but I had offer current supplier Scottish Power to do it for free (albeit in 4-6 weeks). So I tell them to stuff it.

    Then I call Scottish Power they pass me over to sales drone who says things like you'll be for 12 months on prepay blah blah and I am like

    then -

    Tell them I had verbal offer earlier, they go on hold for like forever - must have been checking phone conversation, then say they'll do it

    Now I know why I am not moving often
    Five years wasted on SKA.

    If you had been contracting you could have saved £250K over that period by now and bought a flat ( a nice one) for cash.

      They do them at my corner shop. I realise this may not be a convenient option for you.

        It's a good point DP makes.

        Also you've both scanned every porn link in the world at least twice but using different methods.

                  Yes, that could have happened - I'd blown all that cash on a flat and sit in there like you creating numerous sockies on CUK, showing off your fantasy wealth etc.

                  I could have easily done that, but then I'd be more like you: bitter, sad, pathetic version of sasguru.

                  But I aspire to something much better and bigger than that, that's why I've chosen the SKA route, that's why this would be the last place I am renting ...

                  And once I buy a house and some ******** in power company insists on putting me on 12 months PAYG power, I am sueing their arses
