Morris Marina.

[Smudger]

I stand corrected

[Slacky]

October is going to be shhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Have you ever suggested anything, ever is otherwise?

[NBwcs]

Surely government has to step in after todays revealation. Offgem saying price cap to be £4200 + in January. Middle of winter, straight after Christmas, 
.

[andycap]

The reality is keeping the heating on for vast majority will take precedence over anything...including window cleaning...£4K a year you might keep your work...but getting paid 🤔fingers crossed

[Shrek]

Think I need to do some price increases, I can’t see my £1.50 front only jobs sacking me off even if their gas bill is £500 a month

To put this in percentage terms. Take your current
monthly payment (presuming you're not on a fixed
tariff, and presuming that your current DD amount is
based on real usage figures and not an estimated
value which could be too high already) and then:
• Multiply it by 1.81 (81%) for October.
Multiply that answer again by 1.19 (19%) for
January.
That's a 116% increase between now and January
2023.

Mine is £129 now

October- £233

January- £277

A Minor error.

Any cancellations from customers and I'll take some of their fencing and burn it. I hope they don't take offence.

Perspective. During Covid employees and self employed were able to claim 70/80% up to £2500 a month. Some households had two or more claimants.

Household energy bills are going up £200/300 a month over last year.

The government have handed over money towards energy and will continue to do so.

There is a war on...

Unless your round demographic is little old ladies on state pension you should be OK.

Just go carefully with your own spending for a while and see what gives.

What I don't understand about the energy price cap is it is treated as a minimum, not a maximum. The energy companies don't have to put their prices up to the level of the EPC. Their thinking is because the EPC is where its at they'll put their prices up there too. Do they have to do that? Not every country in the world is struggling with high electricity and heating gas prices.

Also their is some use of the Ukrainian war being made as justification for high prices. They were were talking about high prices before the war started so seems to me thats just a bandwagon they're jumping in an effort to make use of an easy justification for higher prices.

I have to say Boris is a total MODDED for not doing something about it and just saying he's sure his predecessor will do something. In that case, MODDED  now and let that person do what's needed.

It's less than 4 weeks until the new PM is in place. He/She can respond further then. Prices won't change until October so there is enough time.
