Answer 11

I am already struggling single wage coming in son moving out soon no it won;t be any cheaper.

What should I do with out well apparently we all need a tv and the internet according to the government oh and apparently we could all get by on £144 per week.  So guess according to the government I am rolling in it.

My pay rise this year was less than £5 per week all my bills have gone up more than double that..   There are many people who are going to struggle and I think its frightening.  

I will be sitting in the dark most of the time and only turning the heating on when I have to. In this day and age no one should find themselves in these type of circumstances.

The government has a lot to answer for and having just tried to go for a 21% payrise for themselves have no grasp of the real world.

I feel sad to say that no longer am I proud to be British and if I could afford to leave the country I could and I was born here.

Answer 12

can i point out that inflation has been much much higher when we had nationalized utilities. (1970's anyone)

STOP BOOING.

Answer 13

Just about everything I should think - and we are not badly off.   Two of us working full time and no dependant children now (that's a joke though, kids are ALWAYS dependant and I would never begrudge them anything we can afford).  Exotic holidays will be out of the question though if we want to live well, but I shall not really miss those.  How on earth some folks will manage at all is very worrying - especially if they have several small children.  We will have to turn the heating off and sit round a candle - if it gets REALLY cold this winter - I will just have to light the candle!

Answer 14

I have no idea, Im gutted as well, I have oil-fired heating and oil today was 61p a litre, because I had to get a delivery.  By the end of the year I reckon it will be at least £1.00.

Answer 15

Food

Or just freeze to death.  Starve or freeze, it won't be a pretty end.

Still, as long as the businessmen get their money eh? Capitalism is so wonderful don't you think.  Yay for privatisation (not) . . .

Answer 17

Food probably.
