.... the day-on-day energy costs (measured mid-mornings) has shown a jump to £18 for the last 24 hours from the ongoing average of £11.
So Winter has arrived. Gulp!
I don't know what the fix is.... other than to return to the pre-Ukraine conflict pricing.Wow thats the best part of £300/month sorry to remind you
Jumpers & thick socks for xmas then in Clarke towers.
TBH at that sort of money I dont think I would have retired early, I would but wouldn't have certain things although saying that my Mum & Dad do alright in their little bungalow.
Maybe it's time to downsize abit Dan.
At those costs I can see how many will struggle, what's the fix? don't know.

..... that the "keep the lights & heating going" plan for the inevitable 2022/3 power-cuts is taking shape.
The 10Litre Can of fuel is ready.
The generator is ready.
The "Suicide cable" is ready.
They can all laugh, but when I'm the only one around with lights and heating for 3 hours while they all freeze I shall just smile.
Plan is to let it all die when they turn the grid off, drop the incoming breaker, start the genny and plug the sewer-side cable (2.5mm mains cable with plugs either end) into the Genny and the closest mains socket and let it "back-feed" to the main bars in the distribution board and then on to the lighting rings etc.Just remember to turn off the mains switch cos I don’t think little Jenny can service the whole street.
Is the cable a bit like my “worn” 9”disc in a 4”grinder. “Don’t show the kids”.

A bit like "wives & mistresses", as long as the grid and the genny don't ever meet up then the 3.5kW of the genny should run the essentials.
