Today see a huge increase in fuel costs for households due to the price cap change where suppliers are told the maximum they can charge. This has prompted the inevitable 'the government should do more' headlines from most media outlets. 'Eat or Heat' is a nice catchy headline, (which would probably result in 'eat'). At least we have a choice, spare a thought for those without either of those options. One of the problems with this sort of thing is that it is always clouded by the bandwagonners who will shout about the heat or eat choices, but be calling Granny on their Apple iPhone 10 whilst watching a Sky subscription channel... or those that visit food banks and then get an indian takeaway the following day. I'm not saying for 1 minute that these examples are the norm, it's just there are too many people like the above and it undermines the arguments of those who are genuinely in need of attention. Anyway, must get back to cutting some firewood.
