The old dears who are in need get £250 winter fuel allowance and currently an extra £25 every time the temp drops for a few days. The reason the working classes in this country pay so much tax is to pay for the welfare state. When your heating oil runs out and you need an emergency top up 200 litres fort £400 the state wont help you out neither will the old dears.

This happened last year in January. The oil companies have just enough lorries and drivers to cope with demand. As soon as snow keeps the trucks off the road for a few days they are unable to catch back up due to driver hours etc. Lets face it not really in there interest to be on top of the job ,oil shortage higher prices more profit less work.

Too right and so they should.:thumbup1: Well in fact heating should cost them nothing as long as they have put their fair share of taxes into the system.

 

Wouldnt it be cheaper to buy electric heaters than pay extortionate rates for oil when its running low?
