    Any of you got them yet?
    Had mine fitted today by a British Gas engineer.
    Both gas & electricity.
    You get this wee wi-fi monitor tells you exactly what you're using at that moment & how much you've spent on energy that day.
    It's surprising what appliances use a lot of power.
    Kettle, microwave, iron all use a lot.
    Wonder what the tumble dryer will show.
    So far today I've used 23p of energy.
    Just off for a shower so I'll see how much that costs.

    It's saying the shower cost 4p but that's a bit false as the oven was on too, both of which as gas.

    That's just scaremongering Comm. There are bad examples in all walks of life.

    If it suits Billy, he should go for it.

    I'm finding myself trying to cut back on everything.
    Turning things off that are not in use.

    They only highlight the exceptions though Comm. The other 99% are usually fine.
