i just spoke to my electricity company and they compared a reading within 7 days and says i used around 1000w which is more then then i used  since december 2019 (actual reading) its about a 3 months worth use in 1 week, i think he said

I think you need to clarify that...

"1000w" in this context would most likely mean 1000Wh, 1kWh - the amount of electricity used by leaving a 1kW heater on for one hour, or a 50w lightbulb for 20 hours. That's normally about 15p-worth. Yep, fifteen pence.

lmao

thank you lets see - waiting for a call back

Lockdown gets every one bored?

Ops been there for a few years knowing of this supposed problem? But the usage is only 1000w per 3 months usually, now jumped to a 1000w a week? So as pointed out 15 pence?? WOW. Must be a well insulated property? Or perhaps a mistake?

Has so far ignored some as I see it good advice and is relying on the electricity supplier to solve the "problem"


Imao  stand for: In My Arrogant Opinion  When IMAO is used intentionally, it is almost always used in a self-deprecating manner, humorously undermining someone’s opinion or characterizing it as ultimately trivial. Use of IMAO can also suggest, though, that one’s opinion on the matter is more strongly held.


OP do as Freecall / ProDave/etc has suggested then come back with any outcome

thanks guys let me report back.

It could also be worth checking your deeds, when we had a coach house both ours and our neighbours had a clause to say that the neighbours couldn't have power or store certain materials etc in the garage due to the risk this could cause.

They typed Imao. But you are correct if i have misread the capital I for a small l then apologise for misprinting term.
 Imao is indeed Iaughing my ar#o off. And it is different from Imao? that was typed so when is an l a I or perhaps imao? iOi.

Op has not returned yet. So perhaps problem has been resolved?

Somebody's confused between IMHO and LMAO.

Somebody is also still very confused over electrical units.
