A few shops were doing food boxes by courier in the early days... they could deliver most places, and you did not need a delivery slot.

With Direct Debit set up:

Daily standing charge 24.47p

Day rate 23.49p/kWhr

Night rate 12.45p/kWhr

All quoted with VAT included.

Thanks - I've been given standing charge 26.284p, 20.076p kWh single tariff

My original standing charge was 29.05p/day

Day Rate was 24.46p/kWhr

Night Rate was 13.49p/kWhr

She also said there is a reduction of £45/year for paying by Direct Debit.

Those are both close to what British Gas have quoted me as "Standard Variable" at the impending end of my fixed deal.

I don't know what my day/night ratio is, but a gut feel that if I was paying 3p more in the daytime it would more than cancel out the discount overnight.

No chance given that it took a full world war to fix that in the UK.

I've never heard of them, sounds like a name taken from a low budge B shi fi movie.

For interest my EDF tariff that i've been on for ages. Fixed rate ends March 22...VAT included

Electricity day unit rate: 19.87p per kWh Electricity night unit rate: 8.99p per kWh Daily standing charge: 23.86p per day

Don't you think tax calculated by percentages is unfair to some degree, as its going to cost more to heat houses in the north, more than the south, and in any case the companies surely must have had financial advice before cutting prices to the bone. Unfortunately the supply of fossil fuels and the costs of keeping renewable going will also vary. I guess in the least efficient businesses one could accuse the companies of money making but if that were so, how come its these very businesses who will be left at the end of these troubled times.

Food was donated, packed by volunteers, and delivered by companies with vehicles in many areas. That is how it worked. In fact is still working in some areas, on a smaller scale.

You were too busy posting cr** on newsgroups to notice, let alone contribute.

perhaps in englandshire it was .....

Is that why you were spotted running around during lock down by cole ?...

Typically night it is about 1/3 of your total. That is the guide the companies use and it was right for us. We did some things like putting the dishwasher on overnight and some washing machine runs, which is typical I assume. Our ratio changed when I started charging the hybrid at night. Not sure what to.

No, it was a £208m government contract let to Brakes and Bidfood:

There are other 'we'll do your shopping for you' services offered by volunteers, but the boxes were provided as a commercial service, at a cost to the taxpayer of £44 per box.

Ahem.

44 quid what a rip off
