    Sign of the times! Perhaps an unintended effect might be a reduction in theft from domestic oil tanks?

    Really depends on what temp you have stat at.
    Turn it down to the last, turn off non-essential rads around the house, stick on an extra layer or two and it will last forever.

    We got 350 litres of oil last week for €300 from Ballindine Oil. Rang around a lot of companies at the time and they were a few cent cheaper.

    Hi, trying to get organized for the winter ahead of time this year if I can.

    Where is the cheapest place to order a tonne of coal to be delivered? Would there be much diff in cost picking it up yourself in a trailer?

    Also want to bulk buy turf/briquettes - anyone seen good deals around for bundles?

    cheers
