Thought I'd give it a try and I found it quite user-friendly and intuitive.

 

Products->Explore Pricing->Find Your Rates->Follow the prompts/select option/enter address.  All done in under two minutes, prices right there in front of me.

 

I'd never use them though, can't stand their ads.





Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Conversely I went to Products/Electricity, and then had to find the pricing link buried in the FAQ at the bottom of the page.

What's wrong with the "use my details for now" checkbox?

Edit - was in regards to the Breast Cancer form. Turns out I'd opened this thread from an email notification some time earlier in the evening and not updated it before posting 🤦

A couple reasons -

 

The kids aren't under our 'Team members' on our public team page for donations, makes it look like just my wife and I will be walking and frankly you're more likely to donate to kids than fully grown adults, so this will mean less donations. 

 

The kids will miss out on a named bib from the event which would have been a nice momento.

Yeah - he's created this persona of "Nice guy Dave" and "Family man Dave" that we fans have all fallen for. 

 

To be honest, I'd neither be surprised nor shocked nor disappointed if it were any number of other rockstars, but Saint Dave has shattered many allusions across the world, as people are left realising that he wasn't actually who he portrayed himself to be - or at least, not entirely. 

 

I think we'd be having a different conversation (or no conversation at all) if it were someone like Tommy Lee.

I am not a Foo Fighters fan, but he seems pretty down to earth and I have seen him do some awesome things for other people. I guess, at least for me, you think that if someone is like that when people are watching, they are like that when people aren't too (though I accept this is mostly a me fantasy).

When food is not labelled with fundamental notes on things like "this is spicy".

 

My mouth is on fire after eating a few bites of Bahn Mi and this doesn't bode well for later.

I'm not sure that it's something that he's created so much as it's something that is - for the most part - true. But nobody is perfect and I think people should stop worshipping celebrities as though they're descended from heaven. I get it, people like to have some form of hope in this dark world and so they look to celebrities for that feel-good buzz. But nobody can live up to the expectations that people place on celebrities and I think we should all just probably recalibrate our baseline for what we expect from any famous person.

 

I still like Dave. What he did was pretty dickish and I can't defend it but I'm not having bonfire for my Foo Fighters albums... err... mp3s.

Spicy is a very subjective thing. Even scoville ratings are not universal between items. I have been munching away on hot stuff that is too hot for the asians at work and finding it fine, and then they will have things that are too spicy for me that they are quite happy with because its different stuff in them.

To be honest, I'd be disappointed by this behavior from anyone. It's a little more confronting when that persons public persona is portrayed as being wholesome and family focused. You can only base your opinions on what you see.
