This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

They are thinking of moving to 3 day week I read the other day..

Schools ‘considering three day week’ due to soaring energy bills and teacher salaries

Trust leader reportedly says shorter school days ‘will become reality’

They can't move to a 3 day week, parents have 5 day weeks still, unless everyone is on a 3 day week the kids may have no childcare available.

Schools in England told not to cut days over energy price rises

The government says schools must stay open five days a week, despite soaring winter fuel costs.

FFS! and what will happen to the work force if they are having to look after kids?

what a ****show if they can't even afford to teach our kids.

of course am sure all the private schools will stay open full time so the gap between the privalage and normal folk will get even wider

it's all well and good warning the schools but are they going to give them the money to cover their energy costs?

The kids will just be sat in the classrooms in their coats, hats and gloves freezing whilst Truss holds another champagne reception in no10.

Just off the cuff joke, its not hard to find, just be weary of the highland cattle up there in the spring if they have calves.

I meant they shut school and people had to work

Yup, private boarders were relatively unaffected throughout the entirety of covid, boarding classed them as a bubble so they just cracked on as usual. Still, with these schools being charities I guess thats a good thing

I didn't realise business rates were so horrific this soon, they're only going to go up aren't they ?

In some ways businesses are going to need a lot more help than people I think.

Some businesses use a ton of units, and those will really be hurting for cost.

Conspiracy time:

I just received a huge gas bill for July, usage of about 6 months of gas in one month. They said an engineer had read my meter recently (nobody has been in my place for months) and put down a figure that's way off. I emailed a photo with the correct reading and they said they will sort it, also they're installing an auto meter.

I just wonder if this is a tactic they're using to get a larger share of this government pay-out crap?

It's not really a saving if you literally can't afford it lol

Literally makes no difference for gov pay out, they can't charge you for units you haven't used.

For gas be careful because the meter might be in either kwh or m3 (cubic meters). My smart IHD shows be in kwh, but I need to convert it back to m3 for my readings.

Like the rest of us they are going to have to eliminate unnecessary waste.
