Energy costs

Is a bit rich to worry about the cost or economy of use in water and electricity when the locals pay 1/3 rd for electricity and water/sewerage/housing fees are free to them...hence the villa lights on all night etc.

When the slab applies to everyone here then maybe the guys in company accom might think about slowing down the use of it... I pay for mine and it does change your attitude obviously to leaving lights/ac etc on unnecessarily.

Maybe the solution is to give a power/water allowance and what you dont spend you keep... but of course it wont be enough just like the housing allowance to cover the costs...so back to square one...Easily worked out too - take the total utilities cost and divide by total villas and index at 15% pa - that might work...

oh - they could fix the roads so you don't have to travel miles in the wrong direction before turning around and go in the original direction you wanted..What IS that about!!
