Perspective certainly helps Tarvold, but it also helps if you ask a couple of other questions :
1) Why is so much emphasis placed on the cost of electricity, when, in the scheme of things, it is such a small % of average wages ? 2) Surely climate must be an important factor ? I am told that the average power bill in the UK is about GBP 1750. I would be squealing if I had to pay the AUD equivalent - so when is "a days worth" measured ?
