The central heating has had few quick blasts now and again.  Living near the Northumberland coast it can get very cold up here.

 

My son and girlfriend went to Northumberland on holiday this year and said it was beautiful.

I haven't put the heating on yet and I am already facing up to the fact that I won't be able to put it on at all this winter....or heat my water more than once or twice a week. My flat is all-electric  I have very old fashioned storage heaters and a very old fashioned hot-and-cold fill immersion water heater. They gobble up electricity and I can't afford to replace them

Yes there is some lovely places in Northumberland.  I don’t like Newcastle City Centre though.  I feel boxed in when I go there, I never get that feeling in the centre of Sheffield,

it’s much greener and open compared to Newcastle City Centre but there is the Quayside up here with lovely views of the iconic Tyne Bridges so that’s some compensation.

My son and his girlfriend stayed in Amble. Beautiful seaside place and great beach for their dogs to run about on. They will definitely be going again.!

We were there when the U.K. was experiencing the warmest ever weather.It was glorious and the sea breeze and relatively cool stone built cottage was perfect.

Loved Warkworth and the River Coquet as well.

Just one of those holidays when everything was perfect.

They were also there during the warmest ever weather. They were also in a stone built cottage. They loved it !

The government allowed this to happen in the first place! How conditioned must we be to see this as real help?

How? We buy power/export it on the international/world market, and the price there has shot up.

Not yet, but then we live in a highly insulated middle floor flat.
If it feels a bit fresh I just put on fuzzy socks and a jumper... the Mrs is in the middle of the menopause, so typically she's wearing strappy tops and skirts while I'm bundled up 🤣
