hi john, one the reasons why i escaped, could not afford the heating bills, with chronic arthritus i needed to be warm, plus twice the boiler needed repairing at over £350 a time, could not afford a new one, and its more expensive now, just getting ridiculous the power bills, the pension gets worth less month by month, when the pension rise comes its never in line with true inflation, only fiddled goverment calculations, the aa has told the goverment that motorists are being used as a obscene source of goverment income, and its now beyond a joke. Soon diesel will be 1 50 a liter. Tony w.
