Energy Conservation...

Here in my little (semi) detached terrace (as my home is called, if I'm not mistaken) there are a couple of utilities that I have to pay.  Namely, electricity and heat.  Water, apparently, is included in the property tax in N.I. (at least for now...apparently that might change).  Like any house in the states, I have a water heater, but unlike most houses in the states, I have to turn it on when I want hot water.  Now I was told that it's a real electricity guzzler so I should use it sparingly and turn it off when I'm finished.  They recommended I turn it on about 30 minutes before a shower.  Today I was running short on time and hey, it would conserve energy anyway, so I tried 15.

15 minutes is not enough.

And cold showers are unpleasant.
