Traf Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 So, as prices are set to rise massively on Friday... If you're not on a smart meter, make sure you read your meters tomorrow and send the readings in. Traf's top tip? Add a few units onto that reading to give you a headstart for April 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 31, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2022 If you can't book on to send an up to date reading take a photo of your gas and leccy readings. The data can be used to prove date and time of photo in case your provider hits you for chaste at tomorrow's rate for energy you used at March rates.

Site Supporter fatolive Posted March 31, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2022 Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but red diesel is illegal from tomorrow on construction sites ( amongst others ) for everything , from a mixer to a 40 t machine the cost to build maintain or repair anything is going to go up significantly and that’s only going to get passed on .

Youri McAnespie Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Farmers can keep using it, they don't pay VAT on dog food either, for dogs they unceremoniously shoot when they've outgrown their usefulness. They have big sheds, but nobody is allowed in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t been mentioned. But diesel is now £1.75 a scoop, so about £1 more than red. I’d say it’s a ridiculous decision but given the folk who made it, it’s about par for the course. The Labour Party will cop the blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweep Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Ultimately, this Ukraine/Russia conflict is going to go on for years - neither side will back down, and neither side can win. As we're no longer part of the EU, we should show a real statement of intent, and sign a deal with Putin, for their gas. If he "turns it off" as he's threatening to, then he'll have a surplus and storage issues, so he won't really want to be doing that I wouldn't have thought. In a post Brexit era, let's strike a deal with Russia, and get some cheap energy prices, and really push forward with our own growth plans, cheaper energy prices will encourage manufacturing here in the UK, which is what we all want. Obviously we say that if he sets a toe into a NATO country (which I doubt he will) then all bets are off, but whilst it's just the Ukraine, let's leave them to it, and benefit as much as we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am taking the piss, however, I suggested several pages back, that I'd expect the publics sympathy for The Ukraine to waiver as and when the increase in energy prices starts to really bite next winter.

You were clearly being serious. You also want to put those who claim to suffer from Hay fever and SAD in concentration camps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
