Meaning we will now be expected to pay £1164 per year more. As OAP's on a fixed income who feel the cold badly, where are we going find this extra money, on top of TV licence charges and cost of living increases?  |
We got our good news from Bulb today as well (electricity only in our case). What’s particularly irksome is that they have near doubled the standing charge (from 27p to 50p per day) which seems calculated to ensure their customers find it harder to reduce their bills by switching appliances off.
