Just had a chat with the bearded jolly who delivered our heating oil.

It's all going up again in January, he smiled. :)

I gave him a bottle of scotch because I am so nice.

He smiled some more. :)

The boiler is very prone to not working when the weather gets cold. Works perfectly in 40C heat.... :-X :-\

Brent Crude oil is currently trading at $77.51 a barrel, down from it's high of $136.84 in March, so I'd query that if they do hike the cost of your heating oil.

I guess they have you over a barrel though....  :-\     Pun intended!  ;D

Likewise wholesale natural gas is cheaper now than it was in the summer, and I'd have thought this would start to translate to cheaper bills soon..... But...  ::)

It keeps trying to come on, which I'm guessing is not good for the boiler and the like. Quick half a second flash and off again  ;D

I predict the Argies will win on penalties following 2-2 after extra time.
