I am surprised to see that the consumption figure was 883 units for a quarter with perhaps only one light fitting and one socket outlet per room. By comparison with todays average uk consumption of between 8.5 and 10 units per day which would equate to 765 and 900 respectively for the same quarter. Have domestic appliances become so efficient that we consume roughly the same amount of electricity in the home today as we did in the 1940's ?
