“Nothing more than I hae been doing for years. I have always been as economic as possible with my energy use but as I am at home more these days than I used to be, I am probably using more energy.”

“Only 30 asylum seekers , I suppose you could also rent out your garage as a detached property , that has to be good for a further income of around £300 at your reasonable rent .

However should you live in Boston Linc's you could triple your rent .”

“Ah, but then I'd have to commute back to here to communicate with all you good people. Unlessof course they have electricity there. Last time I was there they used to close it down after half past eight.”

“When my little lad says he is cold i make him jog on the spot :)”

“jz - a good way to lose weight. Not the jogging, but being cold. Your body has to burn more calories to keep warm. Open all your doors and windows. Sorted.”

“Why does a thread about energy use mention asylum seekers and Boston in the second reply, am I missing something here?”

“Steveodore,

`Cos the resident fool posted the usual drivel and it`s been removed leaving the whole thread a nonsense.”

“Cheers flossyflathat !!!! Guess I fell to the resident fools post as you put it , but a lesson learned .”

“I do buy my energy from OVO. Don't know if they are cheaper but they only have 2 tariffs and seem more honest.”

“Cheers flossy,
I suspected something may have been removed but I didn't want to cast any aspersions.

We have gone from being classed as high electricity users to medium in the space of six months, just little thing like not leaving the TV on for the dog and switching things off when not in use.
In the three month period July/Sept last year our usage was 1700kw, this year it was just over 700kw, a massive saving.

To me it's all about saving cash, I don't believe in all this man made climate change cobblers.”

“Steveodore,

Ha ha I can`t believe you left your tv on for the dog. Did he tell you what his fave programs were or did you just leave the remote handy for him?”

“flossy,
Complete madness isn't it? We have a really large telly as well so to help we've put a new smaller one on the kitchen wall for her to watch ( shakes head in disbelief) :)”

“Putting your TV on standby uses as much power as just leaving it on - but is probably gentler on the tube.

Do they still have tubes?”

“This is the reason why your dog chewed through electric tables .... it was protest at not being able to watch jeremy kyle, loose women or columbo on a 50inch plasma”

“Ah that's where you're wrong bt. Because she's a lady dog I leave her all the usual shizzle on, her favourite at the moment is Housewives of Orange County, I think she likes this 'cos they've all got little handbag dogs and it's eye candy for her.
The cable thing was because she'd eaten to much meat and it sends her mad if not digested right.”

“my dog is daft he wont watch tv.... just the biscuit barrel......for hours .....and hours.

they do say a dog is like their owner....”

“You mean Ringo wears lycra, drinks Foster's and winds the KFC ladies up? Little ratbag. Bet he's brilliant at poems.”

“I can't believe that someone calls someone a resident fool, even though she knows that she'll be in a flippin' decent bungalow if the fool is fool enough to get the Euromills in. Perhaps I am a fool.”

“Would someone be kind enough to tell me just what GCtheDJ is on about , and just what has all his dribble got to do with the orig thread . total rubbish !!!! me thinks .”

“Redwas

You have stumbled upon one of the 9 wonders of the world.

No one knows.

And his comments are actually breaking forum rules as we are only supposed to post on the subject of the thread. ;-))”

“Redwas,

Just ignore him he just can`t help himself.”

“ghostwriter
flossyflathat

Not wishing to sound off 'sh , but it's folk like him that put other's off from enjoying the Forum ,
but seems like you two have this wonder of the world sussed .

I have entered a new thread , it will be interesting to see if he can mess that one up also .”

“Redwas

If he has any talent, it is messing up threads.

I am impressed at how well you responded to our comments about your comment about our comments on here and I think you will fit in on here very well. I already feel like you are one of us.”

“I've had another look at this and I don't actually think anyone can 'mess up' a thread really can they? Because the next poster can easily bring it back on track can't they?

So to get back to thread Redwas, do you have personal experience of this garage renting in Boston, Lincs? Now that was pretty good, if anyone can work out what I did then.”

“If Redwas isn't posting any more, why has he changed his profile photo?”

“I've actually started to enjoy GC's random posts - especially when everyone else is being terribly earnest about the subject”

“Earnest? I think you're thinking about the wrong forum.

But how sweet, he's finally got a friend. :-))”

“well as we seem to be getting ripped off left right and centre by all our people in charge ,
why are they still making humungus profits , as we pay our bills as we use the energy them at the top of the tree just think its OK we don't have to answer to no one ,
until we start getting together and start saying no it will only continue ????
shame really isn't it ???????????????????????????? greed if you ask me thats all it is .”
