Trevor Hockey's Beard 526 Posted October 7, 2022 When asked about sending out tips on how to reduce energy bills, our glorious government said that it was not their place to tell people what to do. Surely that is precisely the role of government. This is the same government that ended the really successful home insulation scheme in the mid 2010's and brought in the scandalous "Green Deal" to replace it. Is it possible that the Energy suppliers donate to the Tory party? Oh, and we need a Central Defensive Midfielder - just in case you were about to say this is not football related. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely that is precisely the role of government. Technically no a governments position in a representative democracy is to act as the voice of the people rather than dictate to the people. We tell them what we need and they make the decision as we have chosen them to represent us. That said I can't remember choosing Liz truss although via tyranny of the mob I was lumbered with borris (I can at least accept that democratic choice of the people) Again it would however be nice to remind the current government of their obligations to office as they seem to have forgotten. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything with a heating element - electric fire, hair dryer, oven, iron, tumble dryer etc. will be expensive to run. Our smart meter (which seems to give responses that are all over the shop half the time, unrelated to what’s being used) just tells us the bleeding obvious. While there are a few things you can do to reduce usage (hang washing up to dry instead of tumble drying, doubling up when oven cooking or buying an air fryer and so on), most activities aren’t optional. Who is going to go out in unironed clothes or with wet hair? I can’t see the benefit of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 7, 2022 I remember having to miss a City match because of the power strikes in the 70s. I think it was Millwall in the League Cup but it was played at 2.30pm om a mid week afternoon because there would be no floodlights. Couldn't get time off work.

Thanks, you've solved a mystery for me. I recently asked @ricardo@ricardo if he remembered a 70`s midweek game in the afternoon against Spurs. Turns out it was Millwall.

Just 10 minutes in the oven or on the hob at slightly above normal temperatures for the meal will do it.

Bring food up to cooking temp , place inside large cardboard box filled with hay or similar safe insulation. Do what you were going to do for however long you were going to do it. Remove food from Haybox, bring back up to full temperature and enjoy...works great for one pot wonders, savoury and sweet. ....Even bread and butter pudding 😂, as can be ' finished' under the grill for the crunchy top. .
