whats pissed you off today?

its the law of diminishing returns.......

the people who did ours tried to get me interested in external wall insulation.. with a grant, it was £5k.... so i said no..

but, my missus has asthma, and we own a dog, so the heating is off in the day & the door gets opened.....

our biggest saving is that we don't have a power shower. or any shower.. we have baths... guess what?? we burn less energy to run a bath than to have a 5 minute shower... some people in the energy supply trade have been lying for years

enjoy bathing in your own filthy water, showers ftw




lol

Agree shower ftw

I haven't had a bath for 25 years lol

dirty *******

funny that......

you get advised to bath newborn babies......

please provide a list of waterborne bacteria that is present in bath water..... cos the airborne bugs are way more likely to kill you.... showers make the whole room damp & hot, which is a perfect breeding ground for germs

are you not getting the energy savings mixed up with the water savings, of a shower vs bath, as i dont think Ive heard of a shower saving money over a bath, especially when you look at the cost of electric over gas, i can easily see why a bath would save money over a electric power shower

just never feel as clean after a bath as a shower, mind you i do have to bathe every now and then to rest what ever injury's Ive inflicted on my self during a normal working day lol

I like soaking in a bath especially when I feel a tad stressed, I have a beer and well relax, then I get out and get nagged at for being in the bath too long.. so have another beer lol

Long soak, then shower lol double waste

1. like fcuk does the severn trent region need to save water.... its not like we are short of it
2. running 8-10kw of power shower for 5-10mins costs a hell of a lot more than running a combi boiler on warm to run a bath for 5-10mins. there was an energy saving phone in on the radio & lots of people found out the cost difference was quite a shock..
