Important: Check if you have a Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) meter before the switch-off in June
What’s happening? If you have one of the below meters (in the image), they are being switched off on 30 June. What will that mean for me? After this date, your heating and hot water supply may stop working as normal. You may find it’s continually left on or off, or the charging-up happens at the wrong time of day. Your…

Are we told who to dislike?
I honestly think the media is designed to manipulate us, who to admire, who to detest, who to feel sorry for, who to emulate, you don't have to look very far to see even self image, self worth is spoon fed every day, can we escape it?

Why do you only get 1/4 off council tax if single?
The council tax is based on the property and two occupants living in it. So, if there is only one occupant, why are you not reduced by 50%. That is half of two people. They don't charge for extra occupants, so you could have a family of four living in a property and it's still based on the band and two adults.
