Not so long ago there was uproar when site owners started charging by the KW/Hr for electricity. We all got together on the forum and basically made a lot of noise about owners not overcharging for electricty as it is illegal ti profiteer on consumer comodities.
I've been on a metered site since March where as a seasonal user, I pay on the meter reading. About 10p per unit. The casual tourers still pay £2 a day for their electric from the same metered supply. Cutting to the chase, I've been putting £2 a day in my "stiggy bank" so that I don't get wallopped with a huge bill at the end of the season. So after filling "stiggy" I thought it would be appropriate to check the meter and see if the math add's up. To my pleasant suprise i have found that we used on average £1-07p per day.
So it seems to me that ever since we started casual touring, we have been ripped off by the fixed charge.
Has anyone else done the math and found the same?
