(Picture: PA Wire)In 2014, UK households owned an average of 41 electrical appliances each, according to a government report. Of course, that was eight years ago now — before lockdown fuelled the purchase of home exercise equipment, and before we upgraded our work from home set-ups.
The energy price cap rose by 54 per cent in April — bringing household energy bills up to £1,971 per year for default tariffs — and analysts from Cornwall Insight estimate bills will reach approximately £3,582 per year for the average household from October should the Ofgem cap rise again.
