You know, like Ricketts, Polio, Diptheria, Smallpox, windows frozen on the inside, outside toilets, houses without bathrooms, rationing… ;)

Fuel rationing in the 70s maybe but the war rations ended before you were born ;)

..... and now I feel really old, I can remember handing over a coupon to buy a small paper twist of sweets. I also remember going to the shop and quite often there not being any left.

I submitted readings on Tuesday (evening), not really bothered about 2 days.

Out of interest, I tried to login today and got this ;

Re: Energy companies collapse

It took me 5mins to log into Bulb earlier, it said I submitted my gas reading ok on the site but gave an error for electricity but I still got an email or several emails saying they had received it.
