Did you gas man toggle your boiler to be in comfort mode so hot water is always readily available instead of the boiler manually calling for hot water when you turn the tap on? Mine is off. It adds to the bill considerably when on.
There's no efficiency while your boiler is set too high. The whole point of it is to steam inside, recycle the heat your boiler produces. Your boiler must be extracting a lot of heat through the exhaust pipe.

*point one: never listen to Government advice, they know less than you do.
*point two: efficiency (to me) means setting the boiler temp to something which heats the water and therefore the radiators to a level where I feel comfortable in the house, not setting everything so I save 14p a day on the cost and wear thermal underwear
