I don't think it will. Even these cunts know it's not happening. I expect a fudge, a back track then paying these pirates government money to subsidise the payments before a labour govt realises it has to go back into nationalised ownership and the electorate will largely endorse it now they're* seeing the exposed fangs of privatisation. *Even floating Tories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The January figure is about the average mortgage I believe. Mine's much more and not fixed unfortunately l, so getting shafted by interest rate rises. So will most other people when their fixed rates end. Then there is huge food inflation too. My baseline utilities are higher than yours so looks like I'm facing £1000 a month in April. My wife is cutting her work hours out of pure necessity. We'll still be on a good wedge, but with existing debts I pay (fucking rip off builder) I'm worried. And I'm in the top 5% living in the NE. Honestly, this country is ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9873 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Got a new revised bill from the water company after they'd sent a bloke around to take a reading from the meter under the footpath. Going from about £50 to c£110 a month. They reckon I'm using, on average 978 litres a day. I find fault with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth it with today's offers, unless the interest rate exceeds 5% for a prolonged period, which of course it well might. It's a lifetime tracker set at 0.25% above base rate, which was amazing until this year. That's the thing, the same with energy, there's not enough information to inform you of the best options cos we're in pretty much unprecedented economic times. If the BoE puts up interest rates too much to counter inflation they'll send us into a 1930s type depression.

I had this three years ago but it was from £10 to £250 which I had to pay for a few months - turned out it was a leak and I got it all back eventually once it was fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 5616 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Aye. Before you go to bed just check the meter and then again in the morning. Should tell if you have a leak. No midnight pisses though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get the cunts back out quick smart. And aye the numbers for energy are truly terrifying. I can't imagine that the Tories are just gonna do fuck all about it, but I can imagine them needing to be dragged over the line. The fact they've let it get this far is a fucking disgrace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6701 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Currently toying with moving back to the NE. Having previously lived in Whitley Bay, Morpeth, Hexham, Durham and Monkseaton (and the dark place, but let's brush past that). We would have a decent wedge from mine and my lass's kips in Brighton, what are some areas we should consider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 40542 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Depends what you’re looking for- rural, suburbs etc. If you’ve not been back up here in a while, you might be surprised by how many previously greenfield areas have now been consumed by Lego house newbuild estates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 39323 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If you're coming up here wedged up in your fucking South Coast birkenstocks like some kind of new age Loadsamoney, I'd be looking for somewhere up the coast a bit in Northumberland. Anywhere vaguely around Newcastle is crammed in and getting ever more so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 40542 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Medburn, just west of Darras Hall, Cottier Grange in Prudhoe and Ovingham all have some new, higher-end homes now. Not sure if they’re Birkenstock friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
