I have certainly noticed that those who contribute the least to the household finances are also those who consume the most, yes. If anybody would like a couple of workshy stoner flatmates, don't hesitate to come and collect them. Please. I'd appreciate the 80% slump in electricity consumption. (800 watt base load! What are they doing in there!?) Anyway, for those of us in Amsterdam who can actually be bothered to find and hold down a job, go out and do the shopping, etc, we're replacing blown incandescents with LED bulbs because that's what they sell in the shops. Incandescent bulbs are exotic specialist items. _______________________________________ Incandescent are becoming rarer here, but we went thru a CDF phase between them and LED's. Now there was an environmental nightmare!! bill
