Re: UK Budget
The best news in the Budget is that tampon tax has been abolished. Period.

Re: UK Budget
Not really good news if you rely on gas for cooking and heating. Wonder if us wrinklies will get some sort of dispensation cos converting the house to all-electric is not going to be cheap.

Re: UK Budget
Get your open fire or stove installed before this impossible plan kicks off.
Read somewhere today that the UK would need to double it’s grid capacity to cope with the all-electric dream.
‘Snot going to happen in the proposed timescales.
Now I must put another log on my open fire as the OAT is ISA minus 9 degrees.
Edit. Yellow warning for snow & ice at my kennel tonight so no qualms about an extra log.

The house was built in a smokeless zone and we don't even have a fire place/chimney.barkingmad wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 7:43 pmGet your open fire or stove installed before this impossible plan kicks off...............
Agree it's an impossible plan, not least because of the generating capacity that all the fancy ideas need.

Doesn’t look like the financial markets are impressed, £ down against $ and € 
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Call them cynics! Like you and me (I suspect) they don't believe in that magic money tree!
I feel hard times coming on....

Re: UK Budget
4ma, if you have a suitable outside wall it can be added to the structure though I don’t know if County Hall approval is required for such an alteration?
Apartments are more difficult but they stay warm by reason of lack of heat loss so that’s survivable.
