nah - dead squirels are far too squishy - you need something with a bit of friction like hedgehogs

Nice one eeyore i'll try that this evening

But how do you hold the hedgehogs?

Very carefully I would assume!

[Davy Crockett]

Just tried the Hedgehogs, they are bas----s to hold, finished up putting a spike through um. Couldn't get the same friction off um like you can get from grey squirrels.

[Davy Crockett]

Agree with Ron though, and the same applies to those on benefits such as Jobseekers or whatever. The amount of money given to people in genuine need is appalling and, in my opinion, does not cover the increases in bills such as fuel. How are they supposed to go out and spend money on energy saving bulbs.

Here I'd just like to praise Eon (I think it was them, but I'll have to check the company later) - they've just sent me 4 energy savers, free of charge.

I've just recieved 4 energy saving buls too, from southern electric, I think I had some from them last year too

400 watts run for one hour = 0.4 of a kilowatt hour which is 0.4 of your unit cost, for example 4p.

We do our bit

No car - heating on below 19C - 1.2 watt neon or low energy bulbs - turn lights off - frugal with the kettle and cooking - showers only

then I look out of the window and see a house with hundreds if not thousands of lights in the garden

and then I look at an amusment arcade nearby and see a 500? watt halogen sign light burning 2 hours before it is even dark

Even more since British Gas went insane with their enormous price hike.

They must be making profit as they're more expensive than EDF according to my calculations. Our last quarter gas bill was about £750 with EDF (it's a guest house) and by Ebico rates it would have cost us about £860 for the 'lectric.
It's like everything else in this rip off Britain

Thanks for the info. though, it's always worth shopping about
