Nope. Just been informed than M&S are no longer doing energy, so starting to shop around... Those were near enough the figures from last quarter.  :y

Ok. 12KW of gas at about 3p=36p and 3KW of electricity at about 26p= 78p.

£1K a quarter is ridiculous! I use £180 a month during December, January and February but only used £40 last month.

Christ, do you sit in the dark and live in a cave? ;D I'd love it if my summer-time bills were only £40/mo - they just upped my monthly DD to £210! I think even if I didn't turn anything on I'd use more than £40s worth of leccy & gas..

Very possibly he does . . . ( Que Hovis music  )  It's tough oooppp North

Indeed , 3 Kwh is how much electricity it takes to run a 3Kw appliance for 1 hour,(say a 13 amp kettle)
or a 1 Kw appliance for 3 hours

we use about 20 Kwh per day
probably a bit more than average because of the pumps,water treatment running 24/7 for the Koi

Don't leave the kettle on for an hour, it will boil dry. However, modern appliances have a safety device called a thermal cut out, so your kettle will be safe.
No need to thank me  :)

Asking for a friend: Does the thermal cutout prevent the plastic kettle from melting, if you stand it on a hot cooker? ::) ::) ::) :P :P :P

You obviously got the panels when the feed in tariff was good (great  :o). Not so good now.

The 13 mp kettle was an example  for people who don't know what a Kwh is  ;)
but a builder's kettle may be re-filled many times in that hour
if it did "boil dry" the price of the job would increase  :y

Gas here is used for hot water[shower,washing and washing up]and central heating is paid by monthly DD so for 6mths I pay one amount and for the other 6mths a different amount reflecting usage over Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer figure it averages out over the year at £20 per month.Electricity is used for everything else and is paid on a key type thing which I top up as and when needed works out during warmer weather at £4 to £5 per week and during colder/darker months at £8 to £9 a week.

truth be told ,the "people" would go to argos and buy a new one ,give me the old one , "Dave the builder" would fix it or throw it in the scrap metal pile for weighing in  :y


solar panels are coming down in price now but still not economically viable for most people
battery technology / power banks ,has moved on in leaps and bounds ,but still not economically viable for most people

Those figures don't make sense, Aaron

As you can see, I use over 5000 KW of gas and over 300KW of electric.

And here's mine:
