My
‘leccy bill is a whopping £22 per
month.
On
an
OT note, are you the guy who took the engine out of a 1.8 carlton and put
in a
great big v8 and sorted the car to look similar to a holden ? or a car from
Aus used in track racing? .. just
wondered.

Blimey, I
wish mine was as low as that. Last bill was 292 GBP and I
only
have
2 PC's running 24/7 and only 1 has a monitor that is off all the
time
except for maybe 1-2 hours a night.
I
blame
the tumble drier and the kettle (SWMBO has a habit of filling
the
bloody thing nearly full just to make 1 cup of tea which I
keep nagging HER
about)
PC's are not that
expensive to run 24/7 if you use them each day because
powering
them up and down is not good for reliability in my opinion.
This
was the reason we used to keep the ROV (submersible)
switched
on 24/7
offshore as the old way was to power it down when not
working but this
caused so many problems
itself.
