	Bottled gas......argh!!! that was our only option in West Wales. It was an absolute novelty to have mains gas when we moved Eastwards as well as money saving. Our house is over 100 years old with really thick exterior walls and we do have the sun full on the front of the house all day. In the Winter I turn the CH off after 20 minutes because I overheat lolol Our meters are only read by a contracted human on behalf of the energy supplier once a year. One house I would never considering owning again is electricity only with a solid fuel Rayburn. The village step down transformer blew on Xmas eve a few years ago, the kids went off to various friends for 4 days and took the turkey with them to be cooked by a friend's Mum. Hubby and I had soup and a sandwich in the dark on Xmas day. We also had to run off the hot water from the CH every few hours because the pump had no power and you could hear it boiling in the holding tank. One Xmas I want to forget :-(
