If you feel like that, one could argue that it has always been like that and will always be like that. This is the way of the world. Why not make the most of the being an underdog and a deprived peasant? Look at me - born a peasant, will always be a peasant, yet grateful for the life that I have as a peasant. |

If electric prices carry on going up I'll have to turn our field into a solar farm and sell electric to the rest of the village

You have a field? How posh! I am surprised that you still mix with us peasants Ian. Or perhaps it is just so that you can look down at us peasants? Last edited by MSS; 11th October 2021 at 07:04.. |

[QUOTE=edwardmk;2903054 While I don't agree with their methods, 'Insulate Britain' are right about it being one of the most useful things we could all do.
[/QUOTE] Many, if not all, governments since Harold Wilson & Ted Heath have offered subsidised forms of insulation. With this in mind I cannot think why the whole housing base is not sufficiently insulated (actually, I can. I £100m is available and 10,000 applicants use the subsidy then for the 10,001 applicant "it's tough luck". Another puzzlement is why a couple of documentary shows/investigations has highlighted the lack of insulation in new home builds, even though mandated by law. Not enough oversight and subsequent sanctions but hey, a lot of people keep their jobs. Kev |

A revolution?
That is not the British way. It is much more fulfilling to constantly whinge about everything under the sun and then panic and join the queue. Then whinge about the length of queue and the price of the item which was not really needed but for which queued up anyway! |
