I have -m-e-e/-o--

ampere hour

What the heck does
AMPERE HOUR mean??

Sorry peterm - our posts crossed.

Still don't know what it means though!

Wendy, it is exactly what it says: a unit measure of electricity.

Thanks peterm

One ampere hour is a current of 1 ampere flowing for 1 hour. When you get an electricity bill, the electricity is measured in kWh which are kilowatt hours (in other words one kWh is 1000 watts for a period of one hour).

Watts are ampere hours mulitiplied by volts so, given a standard voltage of 240 volts in the U. K., it takes a current of just over 4 ampere hours to cost one unit of electricity on your electricity bill.

I hope that makes it easier to pay!

Actually this is one of the cluesIve got so far - anyone else finding it hard going??

Also;

Got the nnswer without understanding the wordplay - can someone please explain??

Affair = Amour
Present = Here
Parking + p

Thanks Mamya!

Is it just me or is everyone else having a harder time with this?
