sudden increase in electricity consumption

[wobblymike]

I take it you've switched off ALL the appliances and check that the meter isn't registering consumption?

i sure have did so for 2 hours - no consumption registered as far as i could tell

Hello Mike, hope you and your daughter are well. I can call around on Saturday on the way home after a small job in Ponty.

BTW lads, last year wobblymike posted up on here for help and I did the work for him, extended the upstairs RFC and rewired the upstairs lights (it needed it trust me). The house has very low energy consumption, very standard house with no big appliances. I did'nt take any notice of the outside so it could be a 500w security light on the wrong setting or switched by mistake???? Maybe as already said the neighbors have tapped into their supply but of course I did'nt see anything from the mains.

Mike, PM sent to you. I'll pop around on Saturday and get to the bottom of this for you.
