I'm with Scottish Power...last month my bill was 7 quid...and we had baths every night! I got a ****ing ace boiler, well efficient, so hopefully we won't be hit too hard by the future energy hikes....government's gotta do something about this though, it's ridiculous, and they're watching us all die out here....

They coulda done something - i.e. NOT selling out gold at rock bottom prices, NOT borrowing us all up to the hilt, and NOT splashing money around like it was dead leaves on the ground in the Autumn.

But they did all that, so they've got no money left, thanks a bunch. Taxes keep shooting up along with the energy costs, it's sh*t. My folks are paying RIDICULOUS prices for energy, and Council Tax which is WAY above the so-called "high" level news readers go on about.

F*ckin' Brown ... ... dick.

Ugh, tell me about it.

Apparently OUR generation are going to be the first generation in a good while, who'' be lucky to do as well as our parents, rather than definitely better than.

Thanks Brown ... ... dick.
