Electric heater
Hi all, When I moved into my new gas-less flat in June, it was generally warm enough not to use the electric panel heaters that are fitted to the walls.

Electricity Charges
I am with Southern Electric (got told it would be cheaper to switch - yeah right). The problem I have is that I was told how much I needed to pay a month (£48) for my electric, which I did.
