@OctopusEnergy Credit where credit's due. When Octopus are made aware of an issue they are very quick to resolve. 🐙

@OctopusEnergy your billing system seems to be going downhill. Not sure when you have over 5 years of readings with an average monthly bill of around £30 you can roll a dice and put an account into £1400 debit and then suggest quadrupling direct debit.
Do better please!

@sciencegirl Anyone else imagining a wiley coyote with a pot of white paint?

@ceefaux You're back! I rarely see your tweets here. But I engage more with you on BS. Maybe pick one or the other and everyone who truly cares about you will find you on the other channel

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@gilescoren @limebike Why not wait until you're inside in the warm and dry to send a tweet rather than standing out in the rain for even longer?

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@Boatdrinks This is just a balance. Show the statement with kWh usage and it may be easier to work out what's going on

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@DaleVince Why does Dale not know how a heat pump works, and why is he so keen to show off his lack of knowledge? Someone may suggest it's to dissuade those that don't know the facts, but hopefully it's not as simple as that.

@SandyofSuffolk @mpeard Please start using your bin correctly.

@LidlGB Hi there. I'm sure you're already aware, but could you flag the issue that the entrance mat in your new E.Grinstead store isn't wide enough/incorrectly positioned for the door positions and is causing several customers to slip on the adjacent tiles in wet weather.

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@nick_advice No, cost of bills was my primary reason, as you know. But even removing that major reason and putting running costs on a level playing field, there are other benefits to householders and at the end of the day. It's odd that savings are being overlooked though.

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@nick_advice You're overlooking the quality of heat a heat pump gives. Much more consistent. So even if heat pumps were as expensive to run as gas, given the choice I'd still go for a heat pump. If you can get rid of gas in your house completely you remove the costly daily standing charge too

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@DaleVince Excuse my language, but this is poppycock.

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@TheBardOfAnlaby Why not? Most heat pump users would look at the performance over a year? It's pointless focusing on just one season

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@blazercarl One unit of energy in produces four units of energy out

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@TheBardOfAnlaby Efficiency is taken across the whole year to make it a fair comparison.

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@OthenAlan @PlasFron @kelvmackenzie You take the efficiency across the whole year, that way it is a fair comparison.

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@nick_advice And you don't need to service a gas boiler to maintain its warranty?

[Neal @Neal_UK]

@Simondarto @titchjames1 @kelvmackenzie Yeah, sounds like it's running constantly on immersion or back-up heater. It's a wonder they've not chosen to get it sorted before the winter.

@andrewclark80 @Carm296 @sainsburys But if your personal nectar price in your app is higher than the nectar price in store it will charge the higher personal nectar price due to their dodgy IT system.
