We generally do this anyway as regards mobile chargers (excepting the occaisional memory lapse!) but tend to leave the TV switched on at the mains even though the stand-by is off. Does this still use electricity? I hope not as it’s a bit of an obstacle course past furniture to get to the socket!

I’ve recently moved back with my parents (I’m a student) so not really doing the food buying at the mo. I think I’m managing to slowly convince them to stay away from the supermarket, but it’s difficult as my dad does the shopping for my grandparents aswell. The thing is we have a co-op, as well as a good old fashioned butchers, grocers and bakers in our village, not to mention at least two farm shops in the surrounding area! Anyone have any tips on persuasion?
