Typical month's energy usage for the average Brit revealed

Research has revealed what a typical month’s energy usage looks like for the average Brit – with the kitchen using £117 of electricity in total.
A poll of 2,000 UK adults revealed the kettle will be popped on to brew a cuppa for a total of 11 minutes every day, equating to £5.61 a month.

It also found 72 per cent of respondents don’t know which appliances use the most electricity in their homes.
