Energy Bills

Not cramming everyone in like cattle in miniscule pods, which seems to be the plan. George Clark and his amazing spaces...

Apartment living is wide spread around the world and increasing here. Some countries and not just Russia aim to supplement it with a dacha which may just be a wooden shed type building bathing hut size and upwards.

I like to watch that sometimes, to see just what can be crammed into a tiny space, out of interest of what can be done - I certainly wouldn't want to try to live/exist in such a space. I think my caravan is as tiny as I would want to go.

The usa has what they call trailer trash. Tory appears to want the UK go in the same direction. I met some one selling a house that had no other choice and had been told that the site owner would not get up to their usual tricks. Not sure if people in the USA have that problem. We have food banks but no help with household bills.
 
John, sorry I don't understand that sentence at all???
Retired and couldn't afford to run a small cheap house in Wales any more so sold up and moved into a static caravan park. The residential type that some use as holiday homes etc. There are strange rules about ownership that crop up in the news now and again. Essentially you don't and can be told to get out.

Thanks!

Long ago, my parents bought a used static on a park for a sort of weekend retreat. They hadn't properly read the terms and conditions, because after just a couple of years it became too old and they were forced to either sell it to the site owners (at a massive discount), or move it off the site and find somewhere else for it. They couldn't find anywhere else, so had to sell to the site owner for a song. Not sure that can happen today.
 
Builders are all on their mobile phones, on dope or both.
Both? You give builders too much credit.

I started building in the early eighties and thank the Lord that things have moved on from crap foundations, pi$$ poor insulation, unstable truss roofs, poorly specced cut roofs, bin liner DPM details and poor respect for the Stabila bubble.

You are welcome to the shoddy past boyo.(y)
 
Wood burners ? Bit hands on

but

assuming you have access to free wood ???

district heating system we work on that is out in the sticks is run off of a wood chip boiler set up does 14 props

but they have oil back up which is in use due to the wood chip boiler going pear shaped

they had the oil pinched out of the tank last week ( 800 litres)

so the entire site went down
 
"- it’s Conservative ideology to increase inequality."

I'm suggesting it isn't

the facts prove inequality has increased since 2010.

a decade of austerity has left the poor poorer and the rich much richer.

Equally I could argue that inequality has increased since 1973 when we joined the EU, and austerity was a result of government spending constraints as dictated by the Maastricht Treaty.

we’ve had this debate already

My energy cost is now looking much healthier, having reviewed the price cap figures and at last having got my head around how it works....

I maintain an energy spreadsheet, which includes consumption and cost of gas, electric and water. When my fixed contract came to an end, I moved dual fuel suppliers to Bristol Energy, who at the time were offering the best variable tariff. BE official closed 4th of Feb and my supply taken over by British Gas and I seemed unable to find any tariff figures at all for BG.

BE's quoted tariff was way higher than the price cap price and were the figures I inserted into my spreadsheet. Once I had inserted the price cap figures, it all looked much healthier. Phew....

how can companies qute above the price cap ? I have a friend who is being quoted 11.5 for gas and 37 for electric from next week, can they ignore the price cap?
