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.

I wonder if a time is coming when we'll all- except the very rich- regard central heating as an expensive luxury.

My mother's gloomy friend lent me a very gloomy book about how Western civilization is going to collapse once the oil runs out. I wasn't entirely convinced by the argument, but I do think there are hard times coming and we need to prepare for them.
