Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

For reference, power for a week’s stay is typically between US$50 in summer up to US$80 in winter.

That's cheap. In Canada, my power bill in the summer is $400 CAD per month and over $600 CAD per month in the winter.

Ouch! Just for comparison, the charge here is typically around 50c CAD per KWh. It was much higher last winter thanks to the Ukraine war, but it’s settled back down. What is yours? We have very high insulation standards so heating costs are not too crazy. We also typically don’t have AC, so costs stay lower in summer.
