Heating or eating?
"An unemployed Hull man has claimed he is spending more than half of his income on energy bills".
Below is a slightly edited version of what appeared on the 6.30pm local news and follows this post.
BBC 1 Look North report here.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

What? You can afford fried eggs? You must be one of they fat cat businessmen!
I have it on good authority that Bob Piper burns live weasels in his dog grate to keep heating costs down...
Ron: As I had already had breakfast, Rocky got an unexpected bonus, a fried egg sandwich...
LOL, in relation to Bob Piper...
LOL at Ron's weasel comment!
John, I'm so sad that you are having to deal with this. It is so wrong.
I am very proud of you for sharing your story with the BBC...and in turn, help to bring about a change in the system.
Ron, that's libelous. I always kill the little bastards first.
another bloody mess you got us into John! eat cereal like the middle classes.....alternatively, you could share one of Bob Piper's weasels..?
Your mate from Milton Keynes
Why is he not using his open fire to do the toast, boil the kettle etc??
The first thing to do is get off that prepaid meter con you have. Go for monthly Direct Debit, that'll save you a bundle. You get a better deal by combining both gas and electricity, so go for that if you have not already done so. Always take up the price freeze offers made from time to time, my gas and electricity prices are frozen up to May 2010, much like you are now.
In mah day we wah lucky t' have the price of a cup of cold tea....
Without milk or sugar.....
Or tea........
Hi Gingersnaps: I hope that the energy companies are brought to task over this disgusting state of affairs.
Bob: I think there is more mileage in this weasel thing yet...
The MK crew: Hi Gorgeous, since they stopped serving porridge in prison and started serving cornflakes I think it constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.
ee bah gum: Those were the days. I think the plastic electric kettle from Tesco would melt on the fire...
Mike: I keep getting robbed by Nat West for bank charges for being overdrawn on those direct debits. Your advice is sound. They put the pre-paid meters in because I could not meet the quartly bills. I have combined gas and electricity supply.
Ron: Keep taking the tablets...
No joke is it John? I have mentioned your story on my blog. Hope you don't mind. Oh, check your email later today would you please? ta!
The most we could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth...
