Lol, my neighbour can barely afford to have the heating on in winter and you think they should pay more for things.
He sits there much of the time watching TV with a coat on and heating on in only the living room.
Only time he goes out is to the shops using his bus pass.
Regards NHS costs, I think it would be fairer to increase the amount people pay that sells inflict problems such as smokers and over eaters. They can obviously afford it.
Where as someone that can barely afford heating can hardly afford a TV licence.
You must live in a dream land.
So he gets a pension credit and doesn't have to pay for his liscencse? So no change he's just as poor.
My nan was the same. Spam sandwiches for dinner 7 days a week. Her pet dog ate better than her. Wore her coat indoors in winter so didn't have to put 50ps in the meter. Mad world.
