Does tv and sky stuff just start straight back up when plugged back in ?

@Barny52 We don't have a TV or sky 鈽猴笍The washing machine used to be switched on at the wall all the time coz socket was behind it but I dragged it out, used extension lead to plug it in somewhere accessible so it could go off unless in use 馃憤

@Fluffybull not much to leave on then !! Mother in law鈥檚 gas and electric as gone up from 拢60 a month to 拢170 since last August !!

@Barny52 We're pretty economical users anyway but switching off lights, using shorter, cooler wash cycles, etc can really make a difference 鈽猴笍

@Fluffybull didn鈥檛 think of washer, I鈥檝e started writing down cost per day off smart meter to try and see what using most, looks like showing and oven plus tv so I鈥檝e stopped having that on in a morning .

@Barny52 We've never had a smart meter. Quite glad now what with all the horror stories about faulty ones! 馃槺

@Fluffybull not heard of any faults on them think we will all have them soon the electric company鈥檚 can make all the meter readers redundant ,, like self service check out thats to get rid of staff !

@Barny52 I read our meter and email the figures every quarter. They do send people to read meters from some contracted company every so often but apparently that's to check customers haven't been lying on their readings ....馃槈
