0:21.4	Anyone who's on the fixed tariff on the 5th October will be eligible for a chance to win
0:24.8	£20,000 in cash. The average household could save around £200 by switching to fuse today,

1:46.3	conference these days, but I think it was, my sense it was pretty genuine. I thought, and interestingly,
1:51.6	the first comment I heard was from the normally fairly waspish Sam Cote's at Sky, who said he felt
1:59.3	that Kirstama had somewhat to his surprise,
2:01.9	wowed them.
2:04.0	Did you get a chance to watch it live, Rory?
2:06.0	I read the speech, so I've seen the whole text, and I caught a little bit of him speaking.
