You have to remember that when such showrooms were at their peak, there was retail price maintenance. So no point in shopping around.

Yes. Lets put everyone on zero hours contracts. That will stop this strike nonsense. It's about time the very rich were recognised for the good they do in the country and their position improved.
Really by now everyone should know their place, and just do what they're told by their masters.

So you went each week to the PO to buy stamps to avoid having to pay that bill at the PO?

No, it was a form of budgetting.

I can remember when phone-type devices had to have green or red stickers to tell you whether you were allowed to plug them in to the phone system!

Is that the figure for the "cheapskates" or the figure that suppliers are going to be able to re-coup for the losses they are now currently making from their total customer base? Come April every supplier is likely to have the majority of the their customers on the standard variable rate capped at a loss making amount.

Why just lecturers? A good Tory would have everyone competing for their job at least every year. Keeps them on their toes. Except for good Tories, obviously.

Petrol and diesel prices appear to be falling back. Chances are the same will happen with gas and electricity. If higher prices reduces demand so the supplier of that gas ends up losing income, the price will then drop.

To a degree, but legislation had much more to do with it.
Half way through the miners' strike Arthur Scargill was calling on other industries for support.
John Lyons (head of the EPEA, the electricity industry engineers' union) responded by saying if his members started getting involved in other disputes, they would end up settling all of them. It wouldn't be a question of whether the lights might go out in five months, they would go out in five minutes. (The blue collar unions took the same approach).

The Area Board showrooms did a roaring trade anywhere near CEGB sites; Their headline prices were reasonably competitive, and with a 25% staff discount it was almost always a no-brainer. Only if I wanted something specific that they did not stock would you see me heading off to John Lewis.
