    I have a combi boiler so #3 happens automatically - it only fires up to heat water when I run the hot tap. I guess there are still a loads of traditional boilers with hot water tanks knocking about.

    #1 is hard to achieve because it take a couple of minutes for hot water to come through to my shower so the stop/start nature would result in a mostly cold shower and I'm not brave enough for that.

    The others I tend to do anyway, more or less. I don't drink tea but my coffee machine only heats water on demand according to the button pressed.

    No London to New York or London to Auckland? What a waste of time.

    I saved money by not washing my under pants and now my wife has kicked me out, I live on the street burning papers to keep warm. Do I win?

    Energy companies need to make £X profit from c consumption and t tariffs. If c decreases then t has to increase. You will be paying the same for less but you will save the planet from boiling.

    Useless for me.

    I'm currently virtually always at home and I'm an insomniac.

    I actually follow all those tips anyway, apart from 2 and 7. Before I have a shower I set my hot water to on for 2 1/2 mins, provides all the hot water I need.
