    Mines £1200 each for Leccy and Gas! Mind u five bed detached, current mrs stek being russian likes heating on all night as per Soviet Korpus and a lot of halogens (90!!), being replaced with LEDs so the whole house looks like a morgue...

    Plus I have my power-sucking IBM P505 and Sun T2000 servers on a lot - they draw some power. Luckily with ALOM/FSP I can power them on/off remotely but usually I leave them on...

      Turn the heat off and she'd divorce you and you'll have to live on a cold street

          What part of the UK doesn't have a council estate somewhere nearby?
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                The council sold them all off to private landlords who rent them back to council for a profit. Landlords don't pour money into rental properties unless i makes financial sense....

                      My DD per month for combined Gas and Electricity from EDF is now £81, was £101. Have about £400 on account ready for the winter bill.

                      Water about £42, non metered.
                      Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
