What really annoys me when trying to save power.

I tend to try and save what power I can and my bills are quite low as a result. I do it for a mix of thrift and my part for the environment.

However, at a time when we are all being encouraged by the government to save power so we can lower our impact on the environment it really ticks me off when I walk past a derelict shop and inside all the lights are still on

What's the point in us saving anything if the jerk landlord leaves 6 strip lights on in an empty shop? There's one out on my high street, ex estate agent, that has maybe 20 low voltage dichroics on behind the whitewash in the window from their old window display and it's been like that for maybe 2 years now. Then there's one I pass near where I work and there are 6 strip lights left on. I make that 330 Watts down the drain 24/7. What a complete waste

Anyway, rant over, just wanted to get that off my chest.
