I am in credit but have not moved provider. I was just being advised that I was coming to the end of my first year with Eon and they offered me 5 different tariffs they felt suitable to me. The offers were made prior to the gas prices going crazy so I jumped in and confirmed a 2 year fixed deal before it was taken off the table or showed an increase in price. I was happy to stay. Eon are one of the big boys so feel good. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Had a busy day. Ordered and picked up 7 new radiators along with 7 new TRV's. I had forgot how heavy radiators are. LOL Sorted 20kgs of bait out ready for my trip at the wekend. Going out now for a 3 mile walk and will drop in the pub for a pint of the black stuff.

maipenrai Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Another crappy day at only 3C with wind and intermittent snow - I was going to swap a disabled friend's summer wheels/tires over for the winter units today but we've decided to wait a couple of days for the weather to improve, and I'll probably do my own at the same time...

Glasseye Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Today, following three shit days of rain, the skies opened up and presented perfection. I cannot remember in the past two years a more perfect day (weather wise) than today. A couple pics from my walk around the lake..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Last night was very bizarre Went to our favourite pub with a mate, and when we went to the bar to order, we were told that there was no draught beer or lager available, only cider. No bottled beer either. I had a word with the manager who I know well, and he told me that it was because of a delivery driver shortage and apologised. We were going to try another near by pub, but he said that they were in the same position. However, they did still have Guinness on draught, so we ordered that. The place was virtually empty with a couple of Food tables occupied and about 4 other customers. It's a massive pub too and the atmosphere was dead. I suspect that a lot of customers had walked in and walked out again, or maybe word got around about the beer shortage. Never seen that before, ever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Just taken delivery of some fishing leads which I needed for my trip. Time to load the car up, take a shower and head off out to my mates house which is around 90 mins drive away. Good job I have a full tank of fuel as people are panic buying here and there are massive queues for the pumps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Horizondave Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Just watching the main news which is showing panic queuing for petrol. This is where the media are so poor at giving the real news. This morning the Transport secretary advised the ITV studio that only 5 out of 1200 BP stations were closed (temporarily) but that fact didn't cut it and comments after he was gone were about a shortage of fuel for Christmas. OK, there could be a shortage yet facts right now say there is not a shortage, just a temporary closure of 5 garages yet now queues of cars are blocking roads, causing traffic jams and may in fact end up closing many garages in major city areas because they will run out of petrol before they are restocked. If it's not toilet rolls it is petrol at forecourts, our media is not spreading the truth when it is presented to them and Joe Public just sees chaos because our media don't do balanced reporting anymore. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shortages were caused more by the lunkheads topping off their tanks than the actual disruption the the pipeline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
