Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage

I have received a mystery parcel from Octopus. https://i.postimg.cc/B6hHCXrL/Octopus-Mystery-Parcel.jpg It explained why I recently had been awarded a bonus of 6400 Octopoints worth £8, so whatever I'm doing they seem to like my feedback. :lol: https://i.postimg.cc/KzjMqmr1/Octopus-Mystery-Parcel-v...
