RollingJ Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Sorry, mel - I probably phrased that badly. What I probably should have said is that in the past, we have had really harsh winters and survived - without a lot of the improvements that have come about even in my short life. As an aside, I notice you haven't responded to my reference to 'common sense'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padders Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 They say in the papers there is some harsh weather coming this weekend with extreme freezing temperatures, harsh frosts and in January the possibility of a killer freeze. But nowhere do we get any information on how to survive the up and coming extreme conditions. Maybe sheffield forum could provide this service with forumers giving survival tips to everyone. We have started to stockpile tins of beans, corned beef and this evening we will be stockpiling on bread, filling the freezer up. I don't understand how those in power leave their citizens to perish, surely we should be getting advice? Yep its bad news, Iv"e just received my winter heating allowance, and like a fool iv"e spent it on beer and gambling. now I can"t afford to put the heating on. grim.

Ms Macbeth Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 ah we know rogets doesnt have any of that I grew up on the east coast of Scotland in the 50s/60s. It can be really cold there. There was no central heating just an open fire. We all wore plenty of warm clothes, and vests were compulsory. We had heavy curtains on the windows and hot water bottles were a must! We also had homemade soup and stew and lots of hot drinks. As these cold snaps don't usually last for more than a few days, it's not necessary to buy all the milk and bread in the supermarket!

The secret is to pay the same each month for heating, no huge bills in the winter and no need to rely on the heating allowance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 There's always scare stories about a harsh winter. The other year it was all exposed to be a massive con, the companies and weather forecasters making these claims didn't even exist, just a couple of idiots on the internet trying it on. Same tripe gets put out every year though regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberLeaf Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Oh ek!..... It's true. And they're trying to keep people thick. But it's ok, because you, Patricia and Cressida can come live with me, and all my paint, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
