@S_Sykiotis@ZoeJardiniere It's only an emergency if you can't afford to run air-con.
Hot countries must laugh at all this crap.
Instead of investing in air-con we make it all more expensive.
It's stupidity on a monumental scale.
@ZoeJardiniere So ours stays in the cupboard while we try to keep cool in our 'energy efficient' house (which it is).
I'm glad it is as we can't afford to heat it in the winter either.
@ZoeJardiniere We aren't going to fix it. Moron Labour aren't going to fix it. You aren't going to fix it.
We need cheap energy so we can keep cool, FFS.
A 3KW air conditioner costs 75p per hour to run, 18 quid a day if you run it 24/7.
It's insane.
@GoodIDeaDudes@Togetherdec My girlfriend for example, won't be able to tax her car without it.
She will say without her car she can't go to work.
She won't drive her car untaxed so she'll go along with it, even though she hates it.
And on and on and on.....
@GoodIDeaDudes@Togetherdec They will make it more and more difficult to avoid.
They won't release data of how many resist.
Resistance to it won't even be mentioned by the media.
Probably won't be mentioned much at all.
Like you say, those who go along with it deserve it. But it hurts the rest of us.
