Its not good,all this rise in power bills.recently I had to cook 8 plum puddings,on an electric stove -it would have added to the power bill,so
I took the big boiler outside and put it on a blacksmith forge with some charcol
I just came out and turned the handle once every half hour.They cooked over 5 hours and all turned out well.
Over the last few weeks people have been coming to collect charcol,and use it-have not had any demand for charcol for ten years,its a bit odd using a 100 year old forge and charcol,-what's old is new again.Not much help for city folk,but maybe there might be some ways of lowering your bill with a bit of lateral thinking.
The way they keep rising the bills,some people will really be affected.
