Imp 1000
On our electric meter there is an LED light the flashes when electricity is being used. Beneath it says "IMP 1000". It can't correspond to 1 unit because we'd be using about £100 an hour if it did.. so what does it mean ? It flashes faster when using more electricity.

I'm just about to take up a new 6 month lease on a one-bed flat. Can anyone recommend a gas provider and elec provider that is generally OK - given I currently have no idea of my usage patterns (though I suspect I'll be heavy on gas given I really feel the cold and the cooker is gas)
