My standing charge for cornwall is 66.63p per day, which is below the ofgem max.

But instead of addressing this, we get no WFA.

Apropos of nothing, this deserves to be shared!

It's your fault @Alexandra2001 : you have chosen to live in a low population area which neither uses nor generates enough power

Get yourself back to civilisation

I ve come to realise that with age, comes blame, EVERYTHING is my fault... i own up... it was ME!!!!!

No that can't be true. Because plenty of things are my fault 😂

Sorry, but most things are my fault. I’m a single mum (adult child now - and she’s a childless cat lady to add to my faults) and I was a teacher until I retired last week.

I have to bear some blame. 😕. I am one of those 50-somethings who refuses to work a 40hr week to pay more tax for Rachel Reeves. More serious than that, however, was my total refusal to ever Eat Out To Help (Covid) Out.

It's actually my fault, I'm a disabled person using up all the NHS, and I have an electric car so I'm probably using up all the national grid too.

No, my fault. I took early retirement ( OK only a few months) so I'm economically inactive.

oh god, maybe i'm to blame too?!
i'm wotking class born and bred with chronic illnesses and had a child out of wedlock. oops.

What a bunch of bloody reprobates we are! Sat on this thread blaming the Tories for everything and querying Labour decisions to rectify the damage of the last 14 years, yet it is All Our Fault.

I also read the CNN report that was pretty similar but with great descriptions of Harris' face when Trump was talking 😂

🤣

I bear no blame (at this point in my life lol). Since the dc are all became adults I work full time instead of part time and I took my dc out with eat out to help out- half price food was a proper treat, and we stayed outside.

C’mon @Llttledrummergirl , surely you’ve muttered to yourself about recycling or something? 😇

It's all my fault. I was a civil servant, now retired with a gold plated pension (I wish) and my DH is a disabled scrounger.

Sorry everyone.

I'm crap at recycling, I put it ready for dh to sort, does that count?

Also currently in Spain having taken a flight, so destroying the environment with my carbon footprint.

I've been on tax credits up until the last year, so maybe that's what did it.

It's my fault. I work for the NHS, I am single (though not childless), I have cats and I'm also foreign.

It’s my fault, I retired early because of a chronic health condition that costs a lot of money to treat, Im in receipt of benefits I’m old & becoming more left leaning by the day.

Quite. That makes me livid and devastated in equal measure.

I’ll take the blame for anything. I was a teenage mum, I leave the heating on too high, I love Taylor Swift, I have a cat and I wear too much perfume.

MP who objected to a ban on upskirting, objected to the pardoning of WWII hero Alan Turing and opposed ending female genital mutilation has been put forward by the Tories to join the Modernisation Select Committee...

I'll take the blame. I'm a former teacher on a (much reduced) IHR pension. I went on to work with those pesky substance abusers. I'm child free and my two cats visited next door's garden this morning (they've sussed out that next door's dog has moved out) 😂

Oh I totally forgot I was a teenage mum as well.

You unfit mother, forgetting your child 🤣. My baby is 40 in a couple months. How the hell does that happen!

😂😂 my only excuse he is 45 now it was a long time ago.
I know where the hell do the years go.
