Hi Admin, I'll (gratefully) leave you to clean them up as you seem to be better at it than me. I'd like to point out though that I run them through an optimiser so they load way faster than they would otherwise. BB

It's really old. It was all one building, then it was split into one house and two flats. It's really higgledy-piggledy. Which really doesn't help. BB

All the cables loop off into the ceiling. It looks impossible to determine where they go after that without ripping the ceilings out. This is why we have meters and so forth, I suppose. All I can think of to test it is to turn the fusebox off here and then check his heating upstairs to see if it...

I may do some more, let me know what you want to see. BB

The BG man came today to read the meter. That's a good thing as I had the reading witnessed yesterday so it'll all tie in with the daily readings I've been giving BG. BB

See, that doesn't do anything if everything's off in his flat also. It often is, I htink, he's not there a lot. Or, more specifically, if maybe it's just one thing that's bleeding though and that one thing isn't on. I did turn everything off at my main fuse one night, turned the main fusebox off...

Hi there, The flat upstairs from me got refurbished some years ago. It's been empty ever since. Now someone's moved in and my electric bill's gone through the roof. It's four times what it was. I'm with British Gas, who despite accepting that the meter's faulty (they say the check meter showed...
