And Then A Cap...

   Well, so, I see little Tin Lizzy has announced a cap on our energy bills set at two and a half grand. I may have missed it but was it also announced the period this cap will last? Is it a year, a quarter, a month or just for next week? Anyhoo, pure magic is it not?
   Just seen it; it’s a year. A year? Every year?
  Thinking of all those folk holding – or threatening – strikes for cost of living rises plus a bit, should/if inflation slows, stops and possibly even drops, will they pay back wot they got?
   I see the Queen isn’t feeling well right now. So sad that she’s reached such a grand age and has probably never had the pleasure of sitting in that window seat in a burger joint or the excitement of catching a number nine bus to the shops and shoving a shopping trolly round a supermarket. Oh, the things they miss.
   Let’s hope she doesn’t need taking to hospital as we all know from the doom and gloom media this would entail a wait of four hours or more in an ambulance outside Accident and Emergency followed by a lengthy wait, on a trolly in an ally, for a bed to become vacant. Say wot now? Oh, right...

No, you have got it all wrong. It's a cap that you wear to keep your head warm.

DAD,
Thanks for the correction and the, err, heads-up...

Mac,
From the virtue signalling fest and faux sorrow/shock show on TV today. I gained that Her Maj has finally passed away. She was 96 years old. Which is a shame really, if she had hung on for just another 4 years, she would have got a telegram from oh - wait..

Her Maj's last message to her subjects was "its hot down here".

Ripper,
Very sad if only to add yet further worry about the future.
On the plus side, TV content taken care of for the next six months.
Her last message to her Doctors was, I believe, "Wish I hadn't had that fourth booster."

So now it'll be King Tree-hugger, or Charles III. I hope he doesn't lose his head like Charles I (although that, considering his limited intelligence and crackpot ideas, might be beneficial).

And don't you dare call him Charles the Turd.

Ed P,
Yes, our future looks bleaker by the day now we have King Charles the Green.
Doonhamer,
No I won't do that whatever I may think. And you don't want to know wot I think right now although I'm sure I'll be proved wrong...
