mine is £1000 a year (there is no alternative source of energy in this house) and I am very careful.So yes I would probably say I would spend it on a years worth of electricity.

Re: Stupid Question.
I was just thinking what £1000 would buy for us, 48 weekends away in our caravan, plus 4 weeks holiday in the van and long weekends on the bank holidays.Or 2 years electric, 21/2 years gas. Rent for 16 weeks or mortgage for 6 months.
Groceries for 40 weeks.
Yes we could definitely get excited about £1000

Re: Stupid Question.
I was for a time in the employ of the JOHN LEWIS PARTNERSHIP.After a time I could recognise the clients with "old money", they never enquired the price of goods. THe "nouveau riche" always asked.
An ambition of mine was to enter a shop & buy something without asking the price. I know it's pathetic but I just had to do it.
I visited a snooty organic butcher who specialised in game & asked for a GAME PIE.
"Small, medium or large" the red faced ox of a man enquired.
I wasnt expecting a discussion so I replied
" Just for me, please"
He wrapped up the perfectly knobbly pie & stretched out his open palm. I nervously offered him a tenner which he took and put it in a vintage LAMSON PARAGON till.
THe game pie was handed to me in a nice sturdy brown bag.
I hovered for my change.
"WAs there something else you require SIr?"
"No thankyou" I trilled "Good day"
