Electricity meters

Likewise we manage  most of the time on 6 amp and don't  find it a hardship, it just needs  a little care how many apliences  are in simultaneous  use. Our kettle is 1080 watt (just checked) and we have never waited 15 minutes  for it boil. 

which UK site is that on?

I was only a mechanical engineer in earlier  times but even with my limited knowledge of elecricity I think I can say the "Johnny foreigners " electricity is the same as the Uk so my observation is valid even if posted from abroad..

....yes, works for us.....in reasonable time...

glad youve 'arrived' somewhere.....hope youre having a great time...enjoy the tea

If you want to discourage electric use on pitches cheaply just allow stinging nettles to grow near the hook up , that will deter folk from plunging in.

I prefer to use electric in my caravan rather than gas,

there is less of a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning via electrical appliances,

a hook up cable is far easier to plug in than having to lift gas bottles in and out.

I have had a calor bottle with a leaking valve , but fortunately smelt it the next day and took the bottle for exchange.

If you don't want to use electricity don't use it but don't tell others they can't.

I don't go away in my caravan to struggle so if the electric supply is reduced or becomes I WILL use a generator.

and it will be a diesel. 

The subject is "Electricity Meters" and are they fair or not, nobody is saying you can or will be restricted in the use of electricity if you use a hook up which is metered. What it amounts to is you have to pay for what you use rather than having carte blache to use what you like. Meters are by far a fairer system.

peedee

We used a couple of small private sites a couple of years back and both had meters. We found it was around £1 a day for our usage. 

Better than the £3+ a night some commercial and club sites charge.

not too sure that foreign electricity is as good as British, but the point is that firstly this is in the UK touring section, secondly club sites generally have 16A and we don't have to 'manage' (your own words BTW) or be expected to manage on 6amp. Thirdly this is about meters

Where is the information that specifies the various charges for ehu?

Differing pricing bands have nothing to do with ehu.
