We had one yesterday that lasted 15 minutes. At least I was at home though.
Throw a sickie and go home. Italians always believe you when you say you're feeling ill. Just make up something about digestion, stomachs, pain etc.

Thanks for the friendly advice Lorna but I don't think I'll be needing an excuse this time. If it keeps up I'm off!

We don't. We just pretend to, so we can use the same excuse ourselves when we need it.

Is the normal allowance 16KW or summat?
16 KW... I wish, I would give my kettle, dish washer and hoover for 16 KW. It's not as if I can use them here.

I think we are on 3KW

It's 15°C here, had to open the windows in the car because it was too hot (still had the aircon on at 28°c from driving home last night)!
