Christ.....
I'm with bulb, I'll be looking out for a letter like this then.....
**** that's a big jump.
I got a big pay rise at Xmas (extra £500 per month after tax), but I've not noticed it, with the bills going up so much it's just disappeared...
World is done, it'll be 10 years at least before were back to normal...
The great depression here we come...

I think the alternative is a nuclear war.
Lol, least we'll be warm ....
Yeah, ours has gone up a similar %. I knew it was coming but seeing it printed is a bit of a shock.
I just checked and our bills this winter were almost the same as last winter. Higher prices balanced with better insulation. I don't think it'll be the same next winter.

Move to HA bedsit. Often the newer properties look feeble but often well insulated. If you have a spare duvet, put some string on it turn it into a cloak.
Wear a nightsuit under you day clothing and three pairs of Y fronts. Three paits of think socks and 4th pair thicker and if going out take off the thicker pair to fit shoes.
Add spice to cold soups so u dont need to heat them up the spice will do it.

I've no idea how good or bad that is: what do you use it for?

I wouldn't recommend the equator, it really is too hot. Now the tropics, that's OK, especially if you're up above a certain elevation because the wind can have a very pleasant cooling effect. And of course mosquitoes can't fly in the wind.
But you might still need to factor in the cost of air con. Although sleeping under the stars in a light wind is to be recommended, and mosquito nets are extremely effective.
And your gas for cooking will probably be bottled, so you'll need to factor in transport and higher prices for that.
You can, of course cook on an open fire, or a fire pit. A properly designed fire pit is very convenient, but the preparation times are extended, and you'll still need to factor in the fuel.
And of course, the seasons are not winter, spring, summer, etc, it's wet or dry. But the temperature stays about the same, so it's either humid or it's not.

It's the countryside equivalent of gas. We have no mains gas supply in the area so it's either, bottled gas, tanked gas or tanked oil. We have oil, (as it was already here when we moved in), and it's used for heating and hot water. 1800litre tank though we tend to top it up to around 1,000 - 1200 litres when it begins getting low, i.e. 300-400 litres Usually amount is around 500 - 700 litres depending on how low we are getting and what the price is.
I'd buy it on Monday, there's every chance it'll cost more on Tuesday.
Already ordered Freddie. My daughter phoned my wife and said it was xx per litre. While she was on the phone to her mum her mum started looking and it had risen 4p litre within 5 minutes so she banged in 2 orders, one for us and one for daughter. She's not looked to day to see if it's risen any higher.
