Gentlemen, as riveting as it is to read your microwave calculations, it might actually be collectively using more energy on our phones/tablets/PCs that its take to boil a kettle for a cuppa.
Very unlikely.

Those costs are shown in dollars, Foxy, prices may be different in US

I like Putin’s dress sense. Nice blue shirt with matching tie, and smart jacket. It’s probably what I would wear if I was important.
You are important.

I think he actually wears a grey boiler suit but the piccies have been photoshopped. We know what the MSM can be like in terms of portraying the full and accurate picture.

We use electricity and oil. No gas here. We have solar panels and therefore get free daytime electricity. Our oil heating comes on at 7am and goes off at 9. Normally (winter time) it comes back on at 4 and is on until we go to bed. The last few weeks I haven’t needed to put it on until 8pm.
Our house really gets the sun all round and is very well insulated so even on very cold days like today it was 20C inside.
…Waiting for British Gas to come back to full service
I finally managed to see my energy consumption online. For some obscure reason, I seem to have gone from a couple of hundred pounds in credit, to just over sixty pounds in credit. 
Whether everything has just caught up with itself since I moved here, I’m not sure, but to think I only have that amount to see me through to the end of the month before going into the red, kind of freaks me out a little bit.
