Candle Power Saves Energy
News today that a survey has revealed homes in the north of England are more energy efficient than those in the South. I knew this, all along, after all a true Yorkshire man is defined as a Scotsman with the generosity extracted. And, as mentioned in Jonathan's recent post on Hull, it was part of God's country when we were born, so I'm a Yorkshireman too 
It's surprising the impact of recycling and energy efficiency on the running costs of a home. I reckon I'm saving a fair amount now with all the energy efficient bulds round the house, thanks to GT Electrical , as well as recyling just about everything I can. In fact it's reached a point now that I'm filling a bin bag every 3 weeks. Of course, it doesn't mean I'm throwing less bags. Not having a proper bin means I can't leave stuff out for more than a week. Shame, but I guess down here the idea of wheelie bins hasn't hit home yet. Of course, it does mean the local family of foxes has a good meal every Sunday night
