        That's why he didn't turn up.

          Our electric DD is half that but we use more oil than you (closer to £300pm in the winter @ current price of £1/litre).

          I think what we're paying for electric SVR is fairly typical under the Govt energy freeze: 34p/unit + £16/month standing charge.
          Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

            Gordoneo Bennito! Dunno how anyone could use £1000 pm d0000000000000000gh!

            Before the increases my monthly direct debit was £42.50 and I was still in credit. Now mostly covered by the government £67 reduction which must be why I am paying next to nowt.

            Helps it's just me and my little puppet parrot living here and I've got an oil boiler, oil is the cheapest form of heating. Not used my central heating yet, fairly efficient home, so far not gone below 17' which is usually ok for me. 800 ltrs is usually good for about 2 or 3 years.

              Well I don't but it could realistically be £600 in the coldest months. Detached, solid brick Victorian build with single glazed wooden sash windows.

              I'm a bit surprised no other contractors live in big, sprawling, old houses in the country though. Are you all in mid-terrace suburban new-builds

                I grew up in Victorian houses. (Actually one of them was started pre-Victoria and finished in the Edwardian era.) No chance was I living in one when I was an adult. All that continuous maintenance.

                I now live in a property of the second Elizabethan era.

                      Mine is detached, built in 1978, but pretty well insulated with Shell Bonded Beading. Had attic insulation and double glazing doors & windows since we moved in.

                      Damn it!!! That beats my £2.32 a month.
