Comparison Sites are....

So I spend the best part of my weekend looking at alternative energy suppliers.  Wasn't life just easier when it was just good old British Gas.

It took me 2 hours to find all the information I needed to switch and I then sat down at the site (they shall remain unnamed) and put it all in.  Feeling flush with my £123 saving a year I duly accepted all of the Terms and Conditions and proceeded with my application.

I hate First Great Western and the fact that I have to use them.

I am sick to the back teeth of paying so much of hard earned cash into the pockets of First Great Western (known hence forth as #failgreatwestern).  This is the most common site on my daily commute to London.

So I am going to make it my mission to try and help as many people as possible limit the amount of cash they have to pay them.

I need to get a train to London every day but if you don't then try these sites for your cheap public travel needs.

• National express for the most extensive network of inter city busses
• Megabus for the cheapest public transport deals in the UK
• ZipCar if you can drive but don't own a car

And finally if you really must book a train journey then read this article from the Mirror and make sure that your train travel is as cheap as possible How to get cheap train tickets.
