Default [OT} Electricity usage

I've just been sent one from EON for another location but it's been very
interesting looking at the power consumed here some of which is used in
an office outside and workshop and the house but there is an odd 17
watts there with everything tuned off apart from a lighting circuit and
everything is switched off on that too. But still the 17 watt load!

However if you switch the main incomer off then the reading on the unit
does drop to zero.

Interesting to see just how much all that IT and phone PC and the other
bits and bobs take up;!. Theres gonna be a cull of power consuming
devices left on all 24 hours here before long..


Please don't, walk out re-climb some aerial, go for a a drive, a walk,
anything but please don't lose any sleep over those 17W ;-/
