Gas

[poliphilo]

Our gas supplier is raising the price of its product by some ridiculous percentage.  Time to get out the woolies.

I refuse to feed their shareholders' hunger.

Because central heating is very nice and all, but I lived the first ten years of my life without it.  Later, as a young married, I spent three years in a draughty, decaying, unheated, Victorian vicarage in Cambridge- and If you can survive a fenland winter without buffering you can survive anything.

Ailz says we can go sit in the public library if it gets really cold.

The Vicarage no longer exists. It was demolished so the college next door (my old theological college) could expand. It had an orchard full of wonderful old apple trees.

And apple trees, too?

I could have written a romance novel there...

Oh, and tramps used to sleep in the lean-to bicycle shed....
