Octopus’s fixed tariff is one of the cheapest in the UK, and the supplier is highly competitive in the green energy space too. In August 2020, Octopus's 12-month fixed tariff for a central London postcode offered one kWh of electricity for 14.6p - compared to 15.2p at Shell Energy, 15.9p at EON and 16.9p at British Gas.Bulb was slightly cheaper in central London, however, at 14.1p per kWh.

Just yesterday, as I write this, I was on a Zoom panel with Cliff Cobbo, in his own words “a proud Wakka Wakka aboriginal man” and member of WWF Australia. We were talking about the practicalities of supporting rangers professionally around the world – what could be a rather dry subject matter. Without fanfare or pretence, Cliff began his segment with a reminder that we do not come to this earth, we come from it and inevitably we will return to it. As a follow up act to Cliff, I’m afraid to say, I struggled to hold the same gravity. Clarity and the accuracy of digital bills of Octopus Energy is something that is praised a lot by their customers. According to a survey carried out by Which survey In 2019, Octopus Energy had the highest proportion of customers, who rated its billing accuracy as ‘excellent’ among the firms surveyed.Moving on to the second half of the book it began to veer into unnecessary territory and rather than continuing as the grieving father, it started to became increasingly evident that Daddy was rather a rich man and he seemed it was something we needed to know, several times over. For me it completely changed my perceptions of the book and it became more of a power trip rather than a memoir. Goldsmith begins to take action on his own land, and the alchemy of rewilding becomes his obsession and redemption. First comes the “rewiggling” of a human-made drainage ditch, encouraging the curves that make for a healthy, meandering stream. When it fills with rain for the first time, he’s greeted by “an unfamiliar sense of joy that coyly hovered, tentatively awaiting permission to wash over me”. Next comes the ripping out of fences, and a poignant sense of how much Iris would have loved to ride her pony over the newly opened-up landscape.

That is what Goldsmith attempts to learn. He turns first to other bereaved parents. “A short life has no less validity than a long one,” one tells him. Another suggests he visits a medium, a middle-aged woman who lives in Parsons Green who seems able to converse with Iris’s spirit. “She was being silly; she knows that – she was going too fast, and she is sorry for what happened. But she wants you to know that this was her time.” This experience offers Goldsmith some solace and sets him off trying to establish what might lie beyond the reality we know. He talks to a priest, a rabbi, a Buddhist monk. He takes the hallucinogenic drug ayahuasca (the title of the book is one of the insights from that experience). He thinks about reincarnation, impermanence, the soul, but more than anything else he thinks about nature. To paraphrase Orwell, good books tell you something new, the best books tell you something you already know to be true. [4] This is the case with God is an Octopus. Contained in this book is a powerful meditation on how nature heals even the most catastrophic of losses. It's our only Which? Recommended Provider again in 2023.

Agile Octopus is a tariff specifically designed for people who can shift their energy usage outside of the 4pm to 7pm peak. This would suit a household with storage heaters or someone who charges an electric vehicle overnight. who would like to stay hold in a telephone line for ages which is what exactly happens with sub-standard energy companies who takes more customers than what they can handle This book is written beautifully, and was an enlightening insight into rewilding. The love Ben has for Iris is blindingly obvious and as a nature and animal lover herself, l'm sure she's so proud of the things her Dad has achieved. In the days and weeks following his murder, George Floyd swiftly became a symbol of much that is wrong in the US and abroad. But what of the man himself? In this year’s nonfiction Pulitzer prize winner, two acclaimed reporters bring painstaking rigour and intimacy to bear on their quest to know him, speaking to his family, friends and teachers, and detailing the historical and political events that shaped his experience, from slavery to mass incarceration. In illuminating Floyd’s life, this landmark biography underscores the meaning of his death.

Octopus Energy is just seven years old in 2023, but in that short time it has grown to supply energy to three million homes and repeatedly achieved our coveted Which? Recommended Provider status. My tenant opened his own account in good time before the closure but Octopus staff refuse to believe him when he advises them of current readings. I'm always hesitant about star rating memoirs, so this is down to preference of writing style and helpfulness towards my own experiences.
