Good grief
…..I checked mine yesterday and I think it was about £55
I'm going to get Leanne to check the readings in case I have entered a wrong number, I was at work 8 nights of that and the girls were away for 16 days

I still don't want one Baz, the information they collect doesn't help poorer people using leccy and gas at peak times. I refuse to have one and won't until I am legally obliged to do so.

omg thought it was earlier than that -didn't realise how archaic it was

I’m only thinking that cos the female detective/reporter ? said it was nearly 30 years ago

Because they measure peak times, as far as I'm aware the peak time use it more expensive...so it can push prices up the higher the demand. If you have three or four kids wanting showers at say 6 o'clock, and you're cooking a family meal, data picked up from home smart meters can dictate the most expensive times.

Yes

I'm sure Colin Sutton said early 90's Ros

Oh I see ….well I should definitely check your figures again Dame , cos you use far less than me …I use my tumble dryer most days …and put the hot water on at least twice a day , and my usage is half of yours for July

yes -thought it was the late 80's -we have come a long way

I know Baz, plus I have a boiler so don't have to heat my water. This is ucking crazy! I won't starve and certainly will be able to heat and eat, although I will still have to cut my cloth elsewhere. I don't know how some are going to cope, people are going to die 
@Baz posted:You’ll be pleased to know I’ve not been there Dame
Puerto Rico
