Agreed, you may love that little electric rubbish, Thats fine, but in reality its one big CON!
carbore:
We had a girl at the office who diddnt like by "big 4x4" and was thinking of selling her 3 year old corsa to buy "something greener"
The fact was she used to sit in the office in tiny tops and sandles with an electric heater under her desk on all the time (till it "went missing" during an office move :-$) but then she used to turn the entire office heating onto full and constant, then forgot to turn it off when she left = £500 quid gas bill for a 4 person office.
