Nothing wrong with a pair of LJs .
We have got too used to being warm and I love it as a child our house was freezing .
No central heating just the fire in the front room .
My bedroom was above the hall and there was ice inside the window in the mornings.

Just wrap yourself in a duvet and tie it in the middle with string! :smiley:

Hi

Tell that to Port Talbot they have 9000 jobs in the steel works there.

It will destroy the town

I have started sleeping without the duvet…it’s colder, yes but the quality of sleep is far better, and I wake up feeling great.

I predict, by the end of winter that the businesses making the highest profits will be… Funeral Parlours and maybe florists?.

By the time we have either starved, or froze to death, their businesses will be booming.

I entered the world unannounced and will leave the same way

Do you remember Edwina Currie telling poor people to wear silk long johns… the furore that erupted nationwide

43

it’s impossible to buy long johns or thermal vests in the ladies section these days. They have made them all leggings and “loungewear”. Designs that someone over 80 would find hard navigating.

@swimfeeders Only 9,000 ? The banks got rid of 100s of thousands without
any fuss !! :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

Hi

That is the only large employer in town

It would destroy it.

We would then have to import steel at whatever price they want to charge us

46

While the general public are taking a huge hit to the hip pocket Australia’s two major supermarkets are not hurting at all. They continue to make a billion dollar profit. They are not sharing the in the pain. Prices continue to rise across all lines, sometimes up to 30% at a time.
