What percentage of the time do fridges and freezers sit there doing
nothing until the compressor kicks in - 90%?

So on the whole, **** all saving

Not 90%. But it depends on ambient temperature.

Which for most households in the UK with the fridge / freezer in the habitable
space is close to constant all year round

Why don't you check and do some fag packet calculations before you
open your mouth?

Harry we've already done that here just last week, not just fag packet
calculations made up on the spot like some spiv solar panel salesman, but real
world rough costings.
