I'm worried if Alfie C doesn't remember that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All government need to do is smooth the way by making sure departments play ball when they deal with Crogga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope i am wrong. I know families who are saying they won't be able to afford heating this winter and are instead buying blankets etc, so i can only imagine how hard it must be for a pensioner on their own Awful times, in a first world country. How did people cope before central heating & pvc double glazing? I & many of my friends lived in flats with no heating except portable gas fires & wooden windows. Freezing so we just put more clothes on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This...no central heating , single glazed old metal framed windows . Windows ice on the inside in winters. Limited coal fire and for sure wrapped up in warm clothes. Problem nowadays is most places of work have to maintain a minimum temp so it becomes a need when they get home. Not changing anytime soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
