It’s because the price per kWH is something hardly anyone knows.  Much better to look at % increases and do the kind of worked examples they do with tax increases and such like.  So ‘if you live in a terraced house and normally pay x you’ll likely pay y unless you reduce your consumption’

I don't think I know anyone who has not made themselves aware of their own rate in recent months.  It's not hard to give both sets of information, people don't need to be spoonfed. Is it 7 different regions?  Come on we're not talking 700!

I think all you need to really know is that it’s still going up to an exorbitant amount, the more you use the more you will pay, there is no cap on what your bill might be, if you’re a heavy user you may pay way above the “cap” figure

Listen, am I going to have to downsize my king-size hot tub?

It’s only the standing charge that’s regional.

No, it’s more complicated.  Half the people are more stupid than the average person.   
 

Use something everyone knows - what they paid last year.  Then tell them it’ll be xtimes more this year - UNLESS they use less.

Ridiculous -- keep it the same size and turn it into an ice bath. It's the latest thing.

The venn diagram of trying to encourage mandatory vaccines across the EU and saying we'll be fine without Russian gas in the winter less than 3 months later = Auntie Ursula.

Ursula is too so we at least have something in common then I suppose.

One less room to heat in Buckingham Palace this winter during the energy crisis Shep.

Even in death she was thinking of the country she served and loved.

They've gone through the roof. 

[TD_LFC]

Given the BBC have said that the energy crisis is insignificant now that the Queen has died we should lock this thread.

Can't dildo harding just pay back the test & trace money?

"I've lived in a house without central heating."

 

Yes, that was BEFORE CENTRAL HEATING. Everyone lived in a house without central heating BEFORE CENTRAL HEATING. It doesn't mean we should all freeze to death in 2022. 

 

The Tories are just rolling society back a bit - we'll have workhouses next.

Interesting point made on my Facebook that 10 million households x £2500 would be enough to buy controlling shares of most of the energy providers.

I read somewhere that this will cost more than furlough. Anyone else seen that and if so how?
