This bloody energy kerfuffle is putting years on me

[Borchester]

She is running round turning the heating down and the electric off and the old home is as cold as a witch's tit. It would help if her knowledge of basic chemistry extended beyond earth, sand and my God, have you seen the price of fire these days ! But it doesn't and twice today she has asked why we aren't saving on the electricity now that she has turned the thermostat down to zero and I have had to repeat that it might be because we have gas central heating.

I am not saying that it hasn't been fun, particularly when Putin bombed the gas pipeline somewhere or other, but a joke is a joke and it is time for an end to this nonsense.
