UK TV show raffled off electricity bills as prizes for the first time

It seems that against the background of the strongest energy crisis in the UK, the inhabitants of the United Kingdom had a reassessment of values.

Now the real lucky person is the one who can pay utility bills on time. And this is not an exaggeration.

So, yesterday, during the popular British TV show This Morning, viewers who phoned the studio could now win a unique prize in the Wheel of Fortune - payment of electricity bills for 4 months.

As a matter of fact, this is the prize that the Briton who tried his luck won. At the same time, the “lucky one” was really happy to win, despite the fact that among other options were cash amounts of 1000 and 3000 pounds.

However, given that the cost of electricity for the British from October will rise by 80% and amount to £3549 per year, the participant in the program essentially won £1184.

Recall that yesterday it became known that the new Prime Minister of Great Britain was the former head of the foreign policy department Liz Truss.

The resignation of the head of the British government, Boris Johnson, was precisely connected with the economic crisis, which turned into a political one. At the same time, Truss is unlikely to be able to improve the current situation, as she decided to continue the “anti-Russian” policy of her predecessor.

Well, at least not a couple of cubic meters of firewood - there is still something to strive for!
I recently read the comments of the British and was surprised at one point - several people wrote that they would buy tickets for public transport, so that they would not heat their houses, but ride in transport all day and warm themselves during the day.
But Truss at this time will be in his residence foaming at the mouth to broadcast about the great struggle with Russia

Smart decision. Lived up!

ride during the day in transport all day and warm up.

Didn't these gentlemen consider the option "to work during the day"? That's enough for gas.

I think that employers are not particularly happy with pensioners and prefer younger ones.

pensioners

If a pensioner has not paid a mortgage for housing (which has skyrocketed in price since then) and has not made savings in addition to the state pension, then in social housing on benefits you can no frills stretch.
The problem is a little different - the welfare system has raised quite a few people who sincerely believe that he, too, should live well, drive a new car, vacation abroad - despite the fact that he does not work , or works 2 days a week for a penny, subsisting on social work. And now buhurt is rising from them now, when benefits are no longer enough for everything, as before, and the choice arises - to wash or get drunk .

The show is the show - the hype is catching up. All grid users will receive 400 pounds of electricity this year. Free, as part of support. Bill for gas And light per month for kopeck piece - 100 pounds - one shift of work.

Well, in England it’s understandable, everything is “in openwork”, but why, then, in other countries, people are worried? Or is it a scam again?

[Bolt cutter]

in other countries, the people are worried?

Forum users from Germany unsubscribed here - there is a rise in price, and not bad, but no one is going to freeze and starve. And so, it’s unpleasant that the extra thousand and a half annual income will fly away.

[vitvit123]

Well, they’re going to or not, it doesn’t depend on them .. a year ago they didn’t plan what the price increase would be, but it’s like ...
And if they don’t plan to freeze and starve, then why are they protesting against a rise in prices? Or is it a scam again?

[Bolt cutter]

why are they protesting then against the rise in price?

They probably want it to be the same as before - no one wants to pay more, throwing their money into the poorest and most demanding country in Europe. Yes, and the rallies are, so to speak, local in nature.

[vitvit123]

Let's try to wait until the global character ... hedgehogs are still running, there is gas, we'll fry ..

So will there be a rise in price in October or not?

[Bolt cutter]

will there be a price increase in october?

It will, but it will still be possible to pay bills. Rumors of our cold death are greatly exaggerated .

This is understandable.
Work two shifts to pay bills instead of one.

If this continues, then the next prizes will be toilet paper and wet wipes.

[Dead duck]

Grocery cards, for one, they will remember the "sweet life" after the Second World War.

[HAM]

When will they give away toilet paper?
You can also share a shower with Lizka (you can choose any, there are two of them) ...

[nnm]

I liked how they quickly threw reusable toilet paper on the market on the occasion))

[Silver99]

The most popular product in the EU this winter....... Russian felt boots, whoever has an extra pair count the profit.

[stels_07]

And what about introducing such a thing on the field of miracles Yakubovich?

[nnm]

Is there a need? At 5ac, it seems like the state regularly pays subsidies for a communal apartment

[Paul Siebert]

Keep it up, Brits!
Every nation deserves its own government!

And what's wrong? They get out as best they can, and the organizers make good money on human vices or trouble, this is how you look at it.

[APASUS]

There will be lace panties, otherwise I know a whole country of participants here

[Amateur]

We are waiting for them to start playing pipifax (toilet paper) as a consolation and three main prizes: 1-2 or 3 times (1st place) washing the body with hot water in the shower.
