Some newspaper commentators are trying to link the existing gas 'crisis' to global warming. They're being quite inventive, but I'm not buying it. It's the old 'cake and eat it' issue where they want the government to act on the lack of gas situation, whilst telling them we use too much gas. Err, not possible methinks. I do find it interesting though that we use a fraction of gas compared with a few years ago to generate electricity, but then seem to rely on it. Maybe it's only a gas boiler thing.
Another dilemma is for the extremely smart, intelligent people that pop up and advise citizens to 'switch supplier!', 'haggle!', 'wear warm jumpers!', when all they are doing is gaining commission from suppliers and purveyors of warm jumpers to line their fleecy trousers -all in the interests of us dumb people. Hopefully the expected decrease in suppliers will lead to fewer of these types. I'm not a fan of being told the blumming obvious.
Exercise news - I've entered my first half marathon for a number of years, so it will be interesting to see if I can pace myself correctly. I'm predicting 1hr 50mins, but I just want to get under 2 hrs really. Watch this space (after 3rd October, obvs).
