Save £50 - £70 per year on your Electric bill
Not a lot of people realise this but if you turn your T.V off completely (don't leave it on standby) before going to bed you can actually save £50 - £70 per year off your electricity bill, you also reduce the risk of having a fire caused by the T.V overheating.

British Gas offering fixed period
British Gas are offering to fix my gas and electricity price until 2007 as long as I pay a "small additional premium" of an average of 3% on the current cost per kWh - as gas and electricity prices rise yearly does anyone suspect this is a good deal
