Electricity

just had a very interesting conversation with an electrical surveyor sent by the housing association( they want to change our storage heaters for MORE storage heaters-which we dont use). anyway, basically he said if EVERYONE used direct heating-like wot we do- the country wouldnt have enough power to go around!!

Never understood storage heaters if its cold tonight you stick them on to get a warm house tomorrow, I also find they give me a sore throat.

no nore me, i also had them in my flat in Plymouth-didnt use them then either!they give out the heat during the day by evening when you want the heat their empty! never could see the point of that, i think their really old fashioned, will probably have to let HA fit them but we wont be using them.

My grans in ha, and they also provide them. Why not spend the money on something usefull.
