Oddly enough, those people are just wasting their time for the most part - turning off lightbulbs is hardly going to make a dent in your bills when larger consumers like TVs, irons, washing machines and other electricity guzzlers are in use.

If the guy wants to be cheap, he should've turned on a radio and left the lights on instead of the TV

Get an energy meter - most of the big power companies offer one, and you'll see for yourself that lightbulb wahala is a waste of time, except you're using those fancy spotlights, now those are a big drainer.

I thought what I witnessed was just a sort of misinterpretation on my part. But few days later, the same thing happened again!

I visited a friend in the London area at about 8pm and was gladly received. But as soon as I sat down, I noticed the lights were switched off and I [/b]couldn't even see the beauty of the house [b]I [/b]visited. [b]My friend, his wife and child were seated opposite to me and i [/b]couldn't even see them  if not for the television that keeps illuminating and reflecting to their faces once in a while. My friend is financially ok and[b] I [/b]couldn't conclude that he did that to save himself some money.

Few days later [b]before travelling back to the states, I [/b]went to the same house to finalize some biz, to my disbelieve, same bullshyt happened again! [b]I [/b]kept quite 'cause [b]i didn't want to upset him. I [/b]thought maybe that was just him.

months later, [b]I attended a birthday party of a female friend in London and something similar happened again. I [/b]said no, not in a party. It was a house party which was graced by almost 30 people. [b]I [/b]got there around 9pm (late) and noticed people were dancing, but in the almost dark! [b]I called the celebrant and asked, her response was ' Mummy switched off the light because she doesn't want to incur bills', I almost fainted and couldn't believed what I just heard.

I visited her again before leaving.And on this occasion, the mum asked me [/b]to switch off the light behind [b]me before seating down (yeah, it was at night as well!). I [/b]called a friend and told him about [b]my experience. His response was that it happens in most Nigerian's home in the UK. I was like na by force. Even in Nigeria that things are hard, you don't see people switching off lights whenever they've got visitors!.

Don't get me wrong, I [/b]do understand how difficult it is for some, but doing it to the extreme is just too mean. Of course [b]I switch off all lights when I don't have visitors or friends around. People are just too stingy in England, even to themselves. However, every weekend, you'll see them all dressed in new clothes, jewellery, shoes and so on, where the money coming from?

when i go on holiday I usually stay in a hotel, if it pains u so much to have the lights switched off - abeg there are plenty of hotels in London, or don't u know staying with friends and then complaining at the hospitality given is equally "stingy"

as for running gen all night - don't let me fall off my chair laughing - so the noise pollution and fumes are good for your health abi. this is 2011 and u don't think there is anything wrong with a society that can't provide basic electricity for its people. KMT!!!!

i don't know why some people back home get joy from thinking those abroad are suffering, its either some sort reverse inferiority complex or the realisation that things are not that great where u are but to make yourself feel better you put others down.

@ topic hehehe

in the US, it is the AC during summer and Heat during wintertime.
if you go to some pple's home, ha hotness will quench you. they use fan for this type of heat and dress extra layer for the winter.
kai, not funny at all.
there is a way to keep the temp without incurring extra bills.
went to a friend's home and asked to use her bathroom. i sat to do my business and as usual looked around . i saw an aging bucket in the tub and small plate inside. she told me they charge her for water so she use the bucket for her bath. i was like eh? must be hard out there.

Radiant:

Come on guys! My gas and electricity have never been more than £80/month (London) even in winter when all my heaters are on and I don't share a flat/house with anybody.

dayokanu:

Then come to me and you would have enough.

What is so special with electricity bill in UK than other European countries?. stop being siilly man. 

kandiikane:

Pay as you go?

Sagewood:

I have lived in London, UK, before relocating to the US. Electricity bill is expensive in the UK and the US as well, especially for people like us that live in MacMansion. The bottom line is live according to your pocket, but turning off light when you have visitors is just silly and insensitive. Few hours of visit will not break the bank.
