I just wondered what the average temp people set their heating at. Ours goes up and down like a yo yo, when we go to bed we set it for 20 degrees, but in the day its on at about 22 - 24 and at night I would quite often add the fire to that.

The intent was presumably to persuade the unwary into changing supplier, whilst maintaining a plausible excuse of "admin error". The whole…

There is the original Powergen, Powergen formerly Amerada and Powergen TXU. There may be a fourth Powergen company but their staff are a…
