It's not like I didn't warn you all.
Too late now.
Those figures are merely a conservative estimate. It's far worse than what's being reported.

I did think it was all sounding too good to be true...
Rising energy bills will be reduced with climate policies, Ed Davey says
Energy secretary launches analysis showing that green measures could save householders around £166 a year by 2020

Things looking up closer to home...
Selected Dover and Thanet homes together with others in the west of the county are in line for warmers homes and lower energy bills.

Tom, I'd hardly describe that as looking up. Those naive enough to take up the offer will be paying shed loads more in their energy bills for years and years. Those measures, designed to combat dangerous climate change and save the polar bears and halt the rise in sea levels and and and stop this cold weather We are having because of global warming, don't come free.
The cost of "greening" those houses will be added to the energy bills. Bear in mind that the contractors will charge double the going rate.
Another green con.
Next!

that last bit struck a chord andy, our local dogs have been doing that for years and some of them can even put the results in plastic bags afterwards.
now that is what i call clever.

A pity that some cant take the plastic bags away with them instead of hanging them on the fences.

You're right Howard, the dogs can't do that, only untrained unintelligent owners do that.
