Gas

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.

I think there is going to be a lot of that going on here this coming winter. We have high unemployment and lots and lots of snow. They are going to find frozen people in their homes this coming spring... mark my words.

I am leaving.

We have toyed with the idea of moving South- but the South of England isn't really any warmer than the North. Those two hundred miles make very little difference. And, besides, our corner of the North West benefits from the embrace of the Gulf Stream.
