No, that's diplomacy

You can't just decide to close us bases overnight. Threatening to do so is the kind of thing Trump would do. Thankfully he's not going to that level. UK-US relationship will still be there after Trump leaves office

Slowly, slowly he's growing a pair

Man, I feel smug owning an EV right now. I shouldn't, but I do.

That's capitalism for you...

What I meant was, if a lower standing charge were imposed by the regulator, it would be fairer between providers, and comparing them would be easy. If Octopus were to charge lower standing charges now, which it is free to do on any of its tariffs, it would have to offset that with a higher unit rate

A change to standing charges would have to come from the regulator

If Octopus would lower the standing charge, they would have to put up the unit tariff which would possibly make them appear more expensive in comparison sites.
A while back there was a supplier with zero standing charges and they went bust, probably due to more complex reasons.

The law is the law, your rights are the same even if you might be a pedophile

Finally, some common sense news

Third time lucky?

Marginal pricing was recently under review and they chose to keep it unchanged. Just saying...

I stopped watching it half way... not worth the time

It's always the animals that have to adapt/change, and never the humans.
How about imposing harsh fines in specific areas so that drivers change instead.
How distracted can a driver be to not see an animal that usually lays still, frightened on the road?

Who needs oil anyway.... right?

🥳 I'm putting the washer on

Jeez!

The equivalent of mens pants for women is not bras

The negotiation is just an illusion. They don't negotiate

And is it?

I use these and they work great.
When we get an open API to access the Find My network, it will be truly useful.

This is so lazy of them. If you don't want to support them, then open source the code so people can create their own control servers with something like @home-assistant.io

Well done 👏

Who checked?

The Octopus Go tariff might seem cheaper but it's for fewer each day. The Cosy is really the one to go for if you have a heat pump, I think.
Though Agile could work too, but it would be very unpredictable

13.23p / kWh
Cosy rate (04:00 - 07:00, 13:00 - 16:00 & 22:00 - 00:00)

8.5p / kWh

No, please don't. That's private.
It was your comparison to a four bedroom house that made me a bit skeptical about your claim. It's not the bedrooms that use electricity, it's the people, so referring to number of bedrooms is irrelevant, I think.
But sounds like you properly diagnosed this.

Ok, sounds like reasonable steps to take to diagnose.
Just a thought: could it be a garage or annexe that might have a separate circuit from the meter. I also heard stories of electricians mixing the wires of neighbours in terraced houses. It's very odd a meter would keep ticking without any load.
