Default Where your energy bill goes

Found this online this morning

DON'T leave the TV on standby - you will run up a small fortune.
We have all heard this advice but how many of us know exactly how much it costs?
Well, now there is no excuse for ignorance because I have teamed up with power company E.ON to find out.
Together we have compiled this handy guide to the typical cost of household appliances. All costs are per hour except where stated.
As you can see, an ordinary telly on standby uses 0.3p of electricty an hour. That adds up to 7.2p a day or £26.28 over a year.
So cut out this guide and stick it somewhere all the family can see.
