Comes out at 1.34 if it's running flat out for 4 hours

That's what I get too. Of course the electricity suppliers would claim this is excellent value for money

Well it is isn't it? How would other heating methods compare?

Well it doesn't sound much I agree, but bearing in mind the massive and much criticised profits they are making, maybe it should be a deal cheaper.

Dave is that roughly what you pay for electric ?

And gas is slightly cheaper think I used about 80 p for a 15 litre brew but only over half the time.

Dunno, I never check. I just wait for someone to come along and say, 'we can save you £200 a year' and I go with them .

I'm not trusted with bills so I have to go and pay before I can warm my house great when your on a 12 hour shift come in to find no gas or electric at 11pm at night
