Millions More Spent On Heating
the old young and ill suffered most this month as a terrible cold front settled in the UK for a good two weeks, it has also had serious implications on bills! We seemed to have gotten through this as a country although I do think we could have handled it a lot better than we did. We have spend a stupid amount of money on this and as a country have spent over £1.2 billion over just a few weeks and that has turned out to be a lot more than the average winter.
At Work
The timing of all of this was not great because many offices were already cold thanks to the Christmas break and no one being in them. The heating was wacked up in the offices because it was so cold within them. So many shops did also have their heating turned up because of the weather, this was partly done to keep customers happy. On top of this many stores were getting in things like convector heater and a fan heater to keep the staff warm.
At Home
Many people has just had enough of the weather as it is and as soon as this cold front came in they just reached their limits and this is partly why everyone was just switching on their central heating. Part of the reason if not the entire reason for all of this is because ofthe snow, people were in their homes instead of at work or school.
Problems
Many families are going to find that this month their heating bill is perhaps the highest it has ever been and on top of this the government may start taxing us for all of the extra gas we are needing to get in. Of course you could just get portable heaters for occasions such as this.
