Re: Re: Electricity Bill

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.
