    Not sure of your logic here: there are specialist sites 'on the internet', but you have come to a general 'gas & electricity moneysaving' forum instead.

    I imagine you'll just get many more answers......

    Hiya, yep -18 for the freezer.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.
