I'm lucky to be on mains gas. When I moved to this area 10+ years ago lots of homes I looked at were on heating oil.

The Trumphound expects someone else to clean up his shit.
He doesn't need warships, he needs doggy bags.
Oi, ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐คช๐ ๐จ๐ถ, you broke it, you fix it. Why not ask your mates in Israel to send their warships to protect vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. ๐ค
Electricity is pretty constant; gas heating causes the seasonal variation. Other than a boiler I have only a gas hob.
You're right to be skeptical. "The Times has been told" always sounds like "we made this up in an editorial meeting".
Not many people seem to realise that if the ice that's already floating in the sea melts it doesn't raise sea levels at all.
It's only ice & snow that's on land that matters.
To put that another way, glaciers only have to enter the sea to make levels rise, they don't need to melt.
Check shirt with a check jacket? Bleaugh.
Having smart meters doesn't make their calculation of a budget account payment accurate.
With Octopus, all you have to do is cancel your DD and when setting up a new one (once your credit balance is exhausted) select the option to pay the actual bills monthly.
I heartily recommend paying the actual bill monthly as the Smeters make them accurate, even with Octopus' split bills nonsense - assuming you can budget for that. Mine varied from ยฃ224 (Feb) in winter to ยฃ90 in summer (Jul).
Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
My nearest Waitrose is 25 miles away so not much chance of me ever shopping there but even so, I definitely won't now!
...account at ยฃ173 a month even though my average use over 12 months has been ยฃ150 a month.

This was after the price cap was announced and before the Israel+US war on Iran so they were effectively asking for ยฃ426 extra a year they didn't need for my bills and can't justify. ๐ค
...bills monthly so a good option if you can absorb the seasonal fluctuations.
Having said that, Octopus Energy - normally good - have broken the link between my gas & electricity and I'm now getting two bills and two direct debits every month. Their only suggested solution is to take out a budget..
Energy company budget accounts are designed to provide them with free working capital.
Though they can't spend customer deposits, their bank will offset the enormous credit balances they hold in prepayments against their overdraft which will then be free.
Smart meters enable you to pay accurate...
Likewise the UK, where us$3.60/usGal equates to ~ยฃ0.72/L but we're actually paying ~ยฃ1.40/L (=can$2.50/L)
AFAIK, the main difference is taxation as successive UK governments use fuel duty as a cash cow. 30% of Can. fuel price is tax; yanks pay only 19c a gallon and UK is ~53p/L.
His response may change if someone finds his family in the data and publishes it.
Monarchists on #newswatchbbc are a tad upset that BBC news acknowledged the protests against our feudal overlords of yesteryear.
Quite funny watching an item about opera not being as popular as opera lovers would like.
I wonder how they'd react to a rock band on the high street?

Is anyone surprised to discover that the Children of DOGE hadn't a fucking clue about what they were doing?
...that Elon Musk is the world's richest wanker?
No and no?
I didn't think so.
Projection, as usual. Theresa May had to hold his hand to help him down a slope.

I gave up on it 25 years ago.
A proper car in an e-prix.
The item on found missing episodes of Doctor Who should remind us that the theme music was better in the 1960s than it is today.

With archaeological sites, aerial photos are first studied to see where the ground has been disturbed. This can show up hundreds of years later even in ploughed fields.
