Is this the new jfman hoping to entice OB back?

You are correct.
The current cap means energy prices should not rise until April 2023, yet bulb have sent out small price rises in Jan 2023.

I sent him a message a few weeks back I’m sure his return is unrelated.

Re: The energy crisis
This past week saw our highest use of gas and electricity for 5 years. The weather fought back against all the power-saving we tried, and the house took about 3 hours to warm enough in the morning.
38 units of gas and 90 of electricity.

I think his figures were for a week, so would be around 160 & 390 for a month.
The freezing weather sent my gas usage up, about 9 units per day for the last week.
Electricity didnt change too much, we only have one electric (oil) heater, in the smallest bedroom (it has no radiator).
My electric is around 380 per month, all year.

They say that oil filled radiators are quite efficient.
Do they have safeguards in case it's knocked overr? I remember a poor family who relied on parrifin heaters. One of their children knocked one over and the house set on fire.

Re: The energy crisis
Well this one does, it has a cutoff switch if not upright.
They are sealed of course, so would not leak oil anyway.

Re: The energy crisis
I'm away from home until the 29th and with my smart thermastat heating in away mode it's not tripping on and the house is still 17c lol, it's like a heatwave now and all the snow melted last night.
My gas usage doubled for December as I expected with the Electricity around the same.

Apparently, we lose most of our heat through our heads (it's why premature babies have their heads covered in tin foil), so your hoodie will have helped with this.
If you have a beanie hat or something similar I bet you'd be even warmer.

Re: The energy crisis
I've got a head of hair that would make most balding/bald men very jealous (if they wanted hair). No idea why - my Dad lost most of his in his thirties and my Mum had very thin hair - mine's as thick as I am.
I keep a shred of window open in my office (with all the kit running) and that cold air goes straight to the floor where feet would be cold if I didn't keep my shoes on. Fingertips also get cold in my office but my half gloves sort that out after ½ hour or so.
Very interesting eh?
