We have begun the process of switching energy providers. We’ve been with Ovo for a couple of years, maybe longer. And we haven’t had a problem with them, not at all. Except for their pricing. That’s recently gone a bit bonkers. All due to Trump and his private war in the Middle East, obviously. So I did a compare the meerkats thing and we’re moving over to British Gas who came in cheapest for a 2-year fixed-price deal and, let’s face it, fixed price is the way to go in the energy market, until Trump is out of the WH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The glitch in the Matrix (and yes, obviously there had to be one), is BG are asking us for a sign-on meter reading which is all well and good but a) we’ve got a smart meter and b) the British Gas meter reading website hasn’t actually been designed to take smart meter readings. Oh sure, BG tell you how to take a smart meter reading, but you want to try entering it into their meter reading page? Well, I’ll save you the trouble. Don’t try. So tomorrow, to smooth the glitchy Matrix, I shall be on the phone to British Gas. Ridiculous really. But still cheaper than Ovo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
