So your power bill has gone up around £70 or more a month, the government won't continue to subsidise you for long, and the cost won't be coming back down.
It's not so much power as food that we've noticed an increase, our food bill has gone up by at least 30 percent in the last couple of months. Tins of baked beans that were £1 are now £1.50, butter now £2.50 for half a pound etc.
The likes of us who can afford to absorb these kinds of increases without too much pain are in a small and shrinking minority.
Absolutely agree, Heather who has run our household for 50 years has commented of late that she notices weekly increases on quite a number of products, she shops in Lidl and Sainsbury's them being our local stores some 2 miles away in Dartmouth. She has never experienced the like before even through the last Labour period in the late 1970's when we had Mortgages at 15% and commensurate interest rates for everything else.
We are indeed fortunate that we can sink these costs effortlessly, many cannot sadly but we can all help others out in a small way with the foodbanks etc.
