  1. Parents, rent house, cover any shortfall in mortgage if any. Keep the asset and have most if not all the mortgage paid???
  2. Parents? Wait for it to settle down, buy something else when it does when the prices come down.....
  3. Meh. What difference will it make? Our entire armed forces are capable of being wiped out in a single weekend. Why should it matter if the spending is cut and they're gone before roast beef and yorkshire's on Sunday afternoon? Monday morning is a bleak prospect however the money is spent.
  4. He uses a fountain pen, surely that's the ultimate sign that he's trustworthy and knowledgable?
  5. The 'cost cap' also includes the'daily standing charge' given that it covers the entire bill and not just the usage of fuel element. I have zero control over the increases added to the daily standing charge no matter how much energy usage is managed. I also see zero benefit when the daily standing charge is increased. To illustrate, in 2021 I paid a daily charge for electricity of 18.4p per day and gas at 13.7p. Right now, my tariff is 52.6p for electricity and 28.5p for gas. What benefit do I receive for the electricity supply charge that has almost tripled and the gas that has more than doubled - I doubt centrica or WPD have incurred costs in line with these rises for the delivery....
  6. Yep, heard that the other day. I'll bet they still manage to get my bill up to the cost cap though....
  7. I had a quick look at this year's bills compared to 2019's bills. Can't remember the exact figures but obviously the cost of gas per unit has gone up, same with electricity. The biggest surprise is the daily charge which is closing in on 3 times the price it was. Not sure about you, but I've not had new gas pipes or electricity cables installed since the house was built, so can't really see how this is justified (apart from, they need to increase one of the costs to keep up with the rising cost cap!). Not only that, I have a dual tariff with British Gas. They claim that 75% of electricity is from renewable sources. If that's the case, why have they increased the charge per unit so much - I'd understand if the electricity was produced by gas and gas alone.....
  8. That's the thing about polls, unreliable! In that poll, every single seat will transfer to labour. Doesn't seem to factor protest votes that would go to lib dem or green party.
  9. To be fair, SR are doing the exact opposite of 'fiddling'.
  10. She was gurning and looking at her feet in the HoC this afternoon.
  11. Still put himself first though and backed her didn't he! Reap what you sow Kwasi.
  12. It's just words, they're not important....
  13. To be fair, that's been said about Ralph for at least the last six months. Still here though.
  14. If the words were 'we will be sticking by our manager until at least the end of his contract and potentially even longer', would they still be unimportant?
  15. Mangy said it was sorted on Sunday afternoon.... Was but a mere scratch....
  16. Personally, I think there is something afoot instigated by Barry and his fucking briefcase.
  17. Although Outlook will convert a "smiley" to letters on some occasions - 'J' I think is your standard smiley face. Not that that makes it any better signing off an email with a smiley.
  18. Who knows, maybe it's got something to do with not having the microchips available to re-stock their 'modern' weapons, so have to rely on gunpowder instead....
  19. Mongs that haven't figured out that their 'auto' headlamps don't turn on when it's foggy.
  20. Given the vaccines have been in circulation for over a year now, does anyone have any empirical evidence that shows one way or the other that the vaccines do / don't reduce transmission (I'm guessing they do)....
  21. I've heard he just couldn't communicate with the manager.
