[Margaret Pilkington]

I am with you Cashy on Smart meters…..they do not save you money unless you see how much something you use is costing you, are horrified and turn it off.

I have just has one of my power bills…the gas I used cost £9, but the standing charge was £7…..if they removed the standing charge or set it at a fixed rate, then all energy bill would fall and everyone would benefit.

I am very frugal in my use of energy.
We are at the 19th of November and tonight is the first time I have put my central heating on.
Oh yes, I ran it for an hour just before my other half was discharged from Blackpool Vic….just to check it was working well.

While he has been in there I have not had the TV on…..and the washer has had a holiday too.
The only way to keep energy bills down is to use less.
