Ah, Britain....

Forced to choose eating or heating, family burns furniture to keep warm |The Guardian

I bloody hate winter, but at least I can more or less afford to heat our home and eat.

Happy new-ish year. So far, so fuck-awful...

PS: And if the utility companies haven't got you over a barrel, well, then probably the banks have, but Billy Bragg has an answer. Wearing badges is not enough in days like these, indeed.

a belated happy New Year!

I hate winter too... we almost had to choose electricity over food for a while there, but I thought chocolate was far too important to give up for a little bit of light at night ;-).
