I've just watched that video where Lewis is ranting about how a typical user may pay £3240 per year for gas and electric after the new cap comes in play. Are people really complaining that they can't afford that? To be honest, I didn't really know what the typical cost was as I take no notice of what I pay. It just comes out of one of my floating bank accounts by DD that I don't really bother to check. It's the account where you bung a spare £1k into every few weeks. But I was actually pleasantly surprised to hear that people will be paying an average of £3240/year. I thought it was going to be something like £5-6k.

I guess that's ok if you can bung a spare grand into an account every few weeks...
Is that you, Boris?

Are you for real?

Still trolling I see.
Got to be a troll.
I would call him out on it but I'm just too busy bunging spare thousands into all my floating bank accounts.

Enough with the trolling, you're embarrassing yourself. 'Floating bank accounts'
???
Yes, I don't know what my average bill is. I do have a smart meter but it's unplugged and boxed away as it spoils the decor.
Genuinely don't understand what you're getting at?Enough with the trolling, you're embarrassing yourself. 'Floating bank accounts'

You mean the IHD is. You cant put away a smart meter
The reason its only that figure is maybe prices have more than trebled in a short space of time. Things like petrol/diesel are also nearly double so regular folk are now struggling to manage it.

They levelled up the zone and not the character

And that's Purplesky on ignore.
What a lunatic.
What a lunatic.
Lucky you, many are not so lucky.
It used to be £1200 per year only recently, that's almost triple what it was and there were plenty of people who were struggling before.

He has been at it for years. Almost every post is like that. Can’t be coincidence. As mentioned by Robbo, he is making it too obvious now though

Rich people exist but wait till they limit supply by units per household then money wont matter. Think that has happened in the past and business was given priority, must be in prospect for Germany surely.
Whatever that trolling, I dont take the opposite view either because yes people can just wear jumpers and you only set the thermostat low its not really a riot issue on that singular point but overall costs including food are rising. If we had strong currency, 2 dollars to the pound would make a lot of these costs less apparent. People want to take UK energy from us and move it to the continent for usage because its cheap to buy from us, partly thats deliberate policy to promote business production (& export) but I got no doubt it makes people poor and feel it.
