bigroomboy Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 In a world where its no longer politically correct to tell people to put a jumper on to save money I don't think there is much hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave my daugher 35k for a house deposit and legal fees, they need it now not when they are 50. I paid my mortgage off but can't bring myself to spend rashly knowing how hard things are going to be for my kids. I have a son who is younger and will need to get on the housing market. Respect to every one of you supporting your kids. This Government has truly rocked the boat with it's economy wrecking decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 It's been posted on PW some time ago, mangler I think it was. All the money handed our over the last 2 years was going to cost us in the future. Regardless of who was sitting in the seat at #10. Whether it's household bills or an other bill there has to be some kind of pay back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor energy management, a lack of strategy, lying and now and for the next 10 years we will be paying the bill. Expect to see riots and people on the street before this is over.

Not having a decent energy policy is nothing to do with Covid and all the totally wreckless spending associated to that. The Climate change Models seem about as reliable as the Covid ones they kept acting on despite being proven to be wildly inaccurate time after time after time.

I can't see it, not when many are happy paying £3+ for a coffee, everyone has a mobile, Netflix, sky and people don't think you should have to save for things. I can see where Mel is coming from, an unexpected £500 bill when we were growing up would have been a disaster, but that was the cost of my car service with parts in December.

Stonepark Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 8 hours ago, JohnfromUK said: I grew up in a house with no central heating, an open fire to heat the main room, and a coal AgA in the kitchen. Bedrooms, corridors and bathroom were unheated. As a consequence, even today with modern gas fired central heating, my house is only heated to about 55 to 60 Fahrenheit with a (gas) fire in the room in which I sit to boost that room to about 65 F. To heat the whole house to 65 to 70 F (which the heating can quite easily do) uses a LOT of fuel. However - many people want their houses and working environment MUCH warmer. Before I retired I found the office unbearably hot in winter months (the temperature was often over 75 F) - but many of the other staff (especially the females) wanted it warmer still! Anything below 70 F resulted in formal complaints being made to the facilities manager. As a consequence - the office heating bill was enormous - doubly or triply so after gas boilers were replaced by heat pumps. Like you, house had only a partial heating system and grew up wearing jumpers when not in sitting room. Current house is heated sitting room to 20c (60 F) and that is T-shirt comfortable, but rest of house is cooler, with bedroom remaining below 15c (55F). I also had similar issues in big offices where sitting in a cotton twill shirt, 65F (25c) was too warm but likewise had others complaining of being cold at the same time. I think my previous employer was glad it could send everyone home for the 'pandemic' as it must have saved a fortune as the building heating was dropped to 55F and electricity use also droped by 75% (solar panels on roof, so had displays showing kwh produced and used).
