@sscmark Hey Mark, if you're on variable IOGO just now, you can switch to ‘fixed’ anytime from here (octopus.energy/smart/intellig…) but it will switch you over within 24 hours of pressing the button. You won't have to connect your car again. 🐙

@OctopusEnergy is there a way to fix our IOG tarrif at the 1st April rates?
English

@OctopusEnergy I've just spoken to a jolly helpful chap at Octopus who says yes we can, and many customers already do!
Time for a spreadsheet.

@OctopusEnergy if we were to instal a power wall, could we charge it overnight on out IOG tarrif & then use the electricity during the day?
English

@TonyAshai How are you going to make plastics, rubbers, or other petro-chemical based products with just electricity?

@Keir_Starmer Have you condemed the USA & Israel as they dealt the first blow, or does this not fit your narrative?
English

I condemn in the strongest terms the overnight Iranian strike on a Qatari gas facility.
We are working towards a swift resolution to the situation in the Middle East, in the best interests of the British people – because there is no question that ending the war is the quickest way to reduce the cost of living.

@Keir_Starmer I'll bet after those words the Irainians are shitting themselves......

I won two trips up Prescot Hillclimb course at a Bugatti Owners Club Event.
The guy driving (the owners son) treated the throttle as an on-off switch, rather than an analogue device, relying soley on the cars driver aid to keep everything pointing in the right diredtion.
When I commented "you can really feel it fighting for grip through the seat" he replied "no, not really". At that point my suspicions were confirmed, he was a millionare, rather than a Mansell.
Run two he said "I'll switch the TC off". "Here we go, accident incoming" I thought to myself.
Sure enough, exiting the Semi Circle, throttle hard to the floor, massive oversteer, up onto the grass on the inside of the corner in a massive tank slapper, over corrects, then back across the track into the Armco.
It was'nt driving very straight as he drove it back the the paddock.

@LeedsPlusSocial Brilliant.
Stop polluting, "Get out of your cars, use your bikes instead".
Followed by
"Ban the bikes"

@OctopusEnergy @andrewmorgan82 @OctopusEnergy I also repeatedly have this, if you don't want to set a 5am alarm, you miss out, total joke.
English

@andrewmorgan82 Hey Andrew, our codes are pretty popular so do get snapped up quite quickly, but fingers crossed you get to grab one tomorrow 🐙🤞

@MrNickKnowles @SkyUK Dear me Nick just because you appear to have had a bad experience doesn’t mean it’s the same for others.
Stop being such a bitter prick
English

In a connectivity age @SkyUK really are the worst
Horrific hikes in pricing for regular customers compared to new ones, weeks of failing internet, hopeless customer support, multiple conversations with nothing ever actioned or recorded
Get internet & TV any other way you can
English

@MrNickKnowles @SkyUK The downside of dumping Sky is lack of decent F1 coverage.

@WindsorDebs @uksciencechief @GOVUK @POTUS @jackmrankin ...not even when flight paths cross each other, oh no, all planes fly in the same direction......
English

These are chemtrails NOT condensation. Regular flight paths do not make huge X’s in the sky!!
