Senoufou BS: Brexit & other UK political topics (4361* d) RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics 10 Nov 22


I'm getting very low on my heating oil, and I just can't afford the price of a top-up. It's not allowed to order fewer than 500 litres, and that would cost around £460, around three times the price a couple of years ago. The Government Winter Fuel Payment hasn't yet arrived in my bank account (what a surprise!) and my letter says, "If you have not received it by January 2023, ring this number :" etc)
January? Are they bonkers? How can us pensioners wait until winter has truly set in? I'm sitting swathed in a blanket, wearing my winter coat. This rise in the cost of living is depressing me. Can't fill up my car, can't afford to put my electric oven on. Can't afford to heat the house. Council Tax has gone up. "I'm a pensioner! Get me out of here!"
