Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

If its like lasts year Octopus averaged it over your past 3 month use which is a bit of a con as that's over the Summer months.

It's a bit unethical, but the way to game the system might be to charge the batteries, cook meals, run the washing machine etc during the peak rate period, before the system starts, then switch to running off the batteries as soon as the payment window opens.
Last year Octopus did run a couple of events in the night time too, which turned out to be quite lucrative.

I signed up my father, as I reckon his new energy saving fridge will get him the savings without doing anything. ;)

But if you aint got a smart meter, sorry.
