Completely depends how its done, fairly easy to bypass without detection actually.

We are between £5 and £6 a day for our gas & electric at the moment. That's hardly using the PC for gaming, obviously no heating right now or fancy hot tubs and such. Just your basic electric and gas needs throughout the day to make teas, cook dinner, watch a bit of TV etc. Absolute disgusting greedy bell sniffs.
Can provide water for a whole village in Africa for month for a couple of quid, yet it costs my small family in a 3 bed house £45 a month. Just corrupt profiteering, rich getting richer, poor getting poorer.
Every utility is the same. They got us all by the short and curlies.

Dont bother, the guy blames everyone who cant afford to pay for these rises in cost of living for their own predicament. lol.

JRM is that you?

His solution in previous pages was that people get second full time jobs and that people are themselves are the reason they cant afford the rise in cost of living.
If he suggests bringing back the workhouse then we've got him!
I'm fairly sure I'd find something better to do for attention than post in this thread?Some people just like the attention and will make any old guff up to get it
I am being completely sincere. If you, or anyone else doesn't agree with me, that is fine. I only comment on what I see and hear around me in the real world.
Soldato
Well he pretty much has with his 'poor people should get a second full time job...'
I just read some replies I can see its not worth responding to him thanks.

Conservative central office isn't the real world mate. Anyway, enough time wasted on you, I need to go and boil my gruel.

Uther beat me to it. I am incredibly lucky and my real world friends and colleagues bear very little relation to those suffering, however I do have family and friends who are in that category so have a lump of empathy as some need serious help. What is the scope of your “real world”?
The only balance I can provide is to suggest that I feel that the standing charges are far too high and that abolishing them would help people. These people would potentially be lower users, either through choice or otherwise, and so they don't get penalised because of it.
That would assume that the energy companies wouldn't simply increase the unit rate to make up their loss.

You should be having cold uncooked gruel.

I know
The only people I see complaining are those who waste everything they get their hands on. Typically, those who feel entitled to take things for granted. It's the same people who will claim that it wasn't fair that their lotto numbers didn't come up.

Hang on, wasn’t there another thread where the answer was communal pallet fires for cooking advocated by some as a “common sense solution”

, god that was a good 10 pages of lol.

Unfortunately (?) I don’t know anyone with that attitude struggling or not so I don’t make the assumption “they are all like that” which would be a very lazy analysis on my part.

Pallets? Luxury, we're keeping those for Christmas day so we can cook our rats.Hang on, wasn’t there another thread where the answer was communal pallet fires for cooking advocated by some as a “common sense solution”
