Couple spend just £50 a year on bills

[Still Waters]

They spend barely any money on bills and produce their own honey.

It's certainly the Good Life for Yvonne and Steven Lucas, who spend just £4 a month on their electricity and heating bill by living ‘The Good Life’.

Yvonne, 48, and Steven, 53, from Basingstoke, Hampshire, have slashed their energy bills by installing solar panels, growing their own fruit and vegetables and collecting rainwater to flush their toilets.

Are they saying that they don't pay Council Tax, and Water/Sewage Rates are compulsory,I just don't believe its possible to live on that amount.I pay £101 per mth,Council Tax and £52 per mth Water/Sewage rates.Unless they live in a hut on an Allotment site.
