00:00Well, I have learned after 43 years of marriage that my wife and I have different temperature
00:06controls and I fight to keep the heating off and encourage her to put thicker sweaters
00:11on but I suspect if it gets chilly the heating will go on and I will just succumb to her
00:17wishes. I'm in the fortunate position that it's not going to affect me hugely but I think
00:24if you're asking for a political answer what the government is proposing to do to the winter
00:28fuel allowance to pensioners, it's absolutely outrageous.
00:34We do have a fight in our house. I want to put the heating on but my wife doesn't want
00:39to put the heating on. It has gone on recently but the energy cap has gone up. Yesterday
00:46it went up 10%. It's not going to affect me really but I do feel sorry for the people
00:52who can't afford the energy. It is way too expensive.
