Energy payback

The energy companies are falling over themselves in the rush to tell the media about reducing our bills. They must think the customer will get excited about the prospect of saving about £2 or £3 a month when many consumers pay well over £100 a month.

We must spend our £2 wisely. Once a month we should find a cafe that has tea or coffee at that price, sit in their warmth and turn off the heating at home.

You will have spent that freebie from your energy company but you deserve it.
