Things are getting worse, I'm afraid. Wholesale gas prices jumped 20% in one day yesterday according to The Times, and Brent crude oil is $82 a barrel from $77 last week.
In the same article it was reckoned that the price cap would rise by ~30%, or £400 next April.

There are other forecasted situations away from energy that don't look good, either, but that's for another thread.

Your a beacon of cheer and optimism this AM Steve .....
It may enlighten the greens and greta's  amongst us all of the true consequences when power generation is restricted to wind ,wave and wishfull thinking .
It's pretty difficult to be sanctimonious when yer' cold , hungry and cut off from twitter .

The sun is shining this morning, my doggie's ear infection looks like it has finally cleared up and I was humming a happy tune as I gloss painted in the bathroom earlier. No doom and gloom on my part, it's all a case of mind over matter. I don't mind and no one else matters.  :)



Now....bacon butty for me dinner, I think  :y

Everyone has forgotten now, but remember the fertiliser plants that shut down a couple of weeks ago that would have caused a shortage of CO2, that in turn would have caused chaos across several sectors, and it was all because of Brexit?  ;)  ::)

You won't see it on the BBC, but a fertiliser plant has shut down in Austria due to the cost of gas...... and Brexit obviously!  ;D

I ordered my repeat prescription a few days early. When it never arrived at the chemist, I phoned the doctors to ask why. She told me, as it not due yet, it would be sent to the pharmacy in two day and reminded me not to request it too early. I said "You know us old boys, we do like to stock up". She said "Yeah.....there might be another war".  ;D

Plus us young'uns have to actually pay for medicines (Ok only a tenner a pop), whereas all these geriatric ex-omega owners get theirs free.

At school I was blamed for literally everything.

I doubt I was was personally responsible for more than 60% of 'naughty boy' antics. ;D
