Alternate winter fuel payments!

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

I filled up all my tanks then with heating oil, Red and Derv. :D :D Sadly now down to my last 1200L of Derv but that should still keep us going for the next year. Now waiting for the next big slump. :roll:

It would be interesting to know exactly how much a person on gas will actually save due to the price cap and compare that with that being offered if they were in the same house heated by oil.

About the same, but gas marginally wins with the price guarantee ?

Interesting, thank you, seems Oil has been more expensive by quite a lot except for the last 3 months.
