UK weather: Britain braced for first cold snap of year as ice and snow transform countryside | Mail Online

I am in the happy position of having two propane gas heaters which move about on wheels. The bottles are delivered and pre paid at £25 each, so I have no big bills to deal with. I can get 75 hours, burning at one bar, from a bottle and also get a nice red glow light allowing me to see. I can connect a gas bottle to a camping cooking ring which allows cooking in an emergency, too.
Should the electricity go off, which is unlikely as I live in a country town, as opposed to actually out in the country, my only worry is the freezer food!!! If things get really bad I can use electric central heating, but sparingly!!!
A bonus comes up if the temperature drops below zero,for seven days in a row, I get and extra £35 from the Government. This on top of my Winter Allowance of £200 and the Electric company bonus of £120
There is nothing wrong with a mixed right/left wing mixed economy. Why is America so frightened to go that way??? Most countries have and they don't seem to be in as much of a financial mess as America is at present. Total Socialism. like total anything does not work, you must have a bit of this and a bit of that in the mix.
