after many months and endless email communications with Octopus, they finally accepted that they had been overcharging me. they issued a credit to my account - equivalent to the amount I asked to be refunded, which was £170. If you're not sure about your bills, I would suggest you check your...

"DiD yOu JuSt AsSuMe YoUr SmArTmEtEr WaS aCcUrAtE?" Yeah buddy. The clue's in the name. I'm not using the economy 7 tariff.

Did you actually read my OP? I've now adjusted the charging time for my batteries and I'm not accumulating any more peak, or day rate usage. However, for 3 months I was billed £200 more than I actually used, simply by keeping to the off peak period. Unfortunately the smart meter was...

If I'm using electricity during the agreed off-peak period, and Octopus aren't disputing this, how am at fault for reasonably expecting to be charged correctly?

Yep the realitme usage is accurate, and I thought Octopus would be more accommodating. It's their data that I'm pointing them to after all. The problem with starting the usage at 1.30am is that I have even less time at the off peak rate. In the colder months we need as much of the cheaper...

Apparently there's a variety of meters out there but the majority are GMT only. The annoying thing is they don't make it clear about this "grey hour" and bottom line is that thousands of people are simply being overcharged.

Hello GD, wonder if you can offer any ideas about a billing problem with Octopus. Generally, they are a good company but they are billing me incorrectly for daytime (expensive) usage, at night time. So the tariff we're on has a day rate electricity between 4.30 until 00.30am, yes that's 20...

Got it now, thanks good people of GD. Found the QR, seller agreed to scan it after parcel is collected. Will send him the QR when DPD confirm its been picked up.

I'm not complaining or objecting. I am trying to figure out where this QR is and how I can reasonably ask the DPD courier to present it.

Help me understand, what QR code LOL. DPD aren't offering this, is this an ebay service?

That's what I thought. The seller is convinced, and very specific, about needing a QR...

Sure I get that's the basic idea. But how can I ask DPD to provide a service that's not part of their remit?

I've not heard of this before, but GD please enlighten me. I bought an item from an auction site and the seller initially wanted collection only. In the end we agreed that I would organise a DPD courier to collect from his address. The seller said he would like the courier to present a QR...

the act of taking the termination pills was not the cause of the death for the innocent baby. the pills merely induced labour, and essentially she would (almost certainly) have birthed a liveborn baby girl. babies need tending immediately after birth, as I am sure everyone knows, drying and...

a male contraceptive pill has been exceptionally hard to develop mainly due to the biological nature of male gamete production. Trials have had to be stopped due to catastrophic side effects, permanent infertility etc. a successful drug would have to completely stop sperm cell production, in a...

Before being sentenced she posted a FB message saying something like no one has the right to judge you. Clearly she's completely unrepentant and thinks that in some situations women should be allowed to destroy a nearly full-term baby. Unbelievable

A common theme of modern identity politics. If you're not 100% with us then you're 100% against us. The extreme pro lifers are just as bad as the extreme pro choicers. I remember when you could be a centrist and moderate, without being vilified

This is the most pertinent point of the whole debate, thank you for putting it across. Her actions were unnecessary. The abortion pills caused labour to happen. So, why not have a normal delivery, in a hospital, and allow the child to be taken away and live?

It was a premeditated, deliberate effort to destroy a child that should have had a life. She was old enough to know better, and could have had a legal abortion at a much, much earlier stage. Should there be zero consequences for her actions? I dont buy the whole "she will live with this her...

Thanks mickyflinn. That worked. The old cpu allowed the system to post and then I updated the BIOS. Now I'm using all the up to date components Cheers!
