And yet there wasn’t a power saving session or whatever you call it ?

I’m still not up to speed with all that stuff but it sort of felt like tonight would have been at least worth a test ?

They don’t start until November but they will be permanent all year round after that.

My daily tracker tariff was the highest it's been all year yesterday at 23p/kWh - I saw we were up at over 50% gas yesterday.
