Do people think it's time to stop quoting average in £'s?

Absolutely. Everyone needs to get used to thinking in terms of kwhs and standing charges.
At the moment I suspect most people do not know how much energy they use. Most still think in terms of £xxx per month on the DD or on the prepayment card.
It's a easy paradigm shift to make - kind of like thinking about petrol in terms of price per litre.
Actually, that reminds me of the old joke about petrol prices not affecting me because I always put in £20.

If you have an older plasma TV then switch to a newer oled tv, 400w vs 100w in my case when I swapped.0

You can get a good quality new 50" LED TV for £250. No need to spend £1000, and you will be helping the planet in the long run through significantly lower energy usage
