The power board in the living room?
Hi, We are using the room in the middle of the house as the living room, but we have a very small front room which we want to start using as second room sometimes. The thing I'm concerned about is that the power board, and obviously, the electric meter is in there, low down on the wall. We are going to try and cover it…

Utility Bill Hikes - It's Cameron That's behind them
I did a calculation based on Centrica's accounts for 2011. Centrica is the parent company of British Gas, supplying 40% of households with gas. It looks like everyone who blames the "greedy companies" for the price hikes are wrong... Tax and Gang Green Taxes = around 20% Company Profit = less than 3%. So, the lying toads…
