Another statement of the bleeding obvious with a figure plucked from thin air to alarm the stupid.
World energy resources are finite, demand will increase as economies recover, so the freemarket balance of supply and demand dictates prices rise.
GCSE economics.
i’m farly sure one of the tabloids already did a “stigs identity” story. its pointless anyway as there are several different ones, not to mention its just going to be “some test/stunt/ralley driver you’ve never heard of”.
As one of the few Top Gear fans it seems reading this, it’s because Michael Schumacher was stand-in Stig to drive a ridiculous Ferrari that none of the people (30 of) who’ve bought them are actually allowed to take home. But, of course, you lot have no reason to give a toss.
hmm, i think this deail actually makes the story a little worse, reducing it to one of the tabloids (weirdly numerous) “thing that happened on tv recently” stories*.
*these really do piss me off, its the lazyist journalism can get, its one thing to have a run down review of last nights telly, or a guide to that nights, but the amount of “such and such happened on some show or anyother” that is written up as actual fucking news continues to dissapoint me.
i know, i went off track a bit there, and there are many worse examples than this one (which is just a fluff piece afterall), but i had to just get that out.
sorry
I already saw the unit price of my electricity bill double (thanks privatised market, you really made a difference for me there).
Loved the way prices shot up with the oil price rise and stayed up despite oil falling (even taking into account the falling £).
Still, don’t worry despite being the most profitable industry on the planet & making the largest profits the planet has ever seen I’m quite sure the DE along with all the rest (with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions) will be there preaching to us all how it just has to be this way.
(and how that vastly profitable industry shouldn’t be expected to pay a penny towards cleaning up the environmental mess they have created)
Anything other than more financial pressure on the paying customer would just be far too ’socialist’, eh?

Odds that they’ll still be insisting any effort to reduce energy consumption is silly and they shouldn’t have to do it?
Am I the only fucker in the entire world who doesn’t give a toss who the ‘Stig’ is?
Nope.
I see they’ve gone from Waitrose to Lidl.
And I don’t really give a toss about the Stig either.
Have you noticed that, if you spell Stig backwards, it sums up the other presenters?
Stig?
The dump is the right place for him. Put me down as another “couldn’t give a toss, quite frankly”.
i thought the point of the stig was that he always kept his aura of mystery.
revealing his identity just seems like a publicity stunt.
Funny, my monthly payment for gas and electric has gone down from £115 to £89 per month.

The only two papers you can buy in Lidl are the Express and Star so may they had a complaint from Lidl’s
