If you claim benefits with three kids you can ignore the hosepipe ban, go to work with three kids and the ban applies. https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/ [Post edited 20 Jul 22:27]

Ste You pay a fixed amount? Don’t This is simply too much Get billed monthly and pay dd just for that month If , like me you use little gas in the summer months, why pay for gas not used Our electric bills are pretty inform summer or winter and that’s including charging an EV |  |

I used to do it because it was psychologically comforting to know you had that credit. Now though I pay by DD every month à la Richie. |  |

They will whilst creating massive amounts of debt. That’s what Labour do. |  |

Like Blair saying that University should be for everyone and making it the norm, whilst the vast majority pile up a massive debt for a qualification they dont really need. |  | |  |

They make millions in interest from customers who do this. It’s convenient for the customer, but chucking half of it into a savings account returns more for the individual. |  |

You’re right and I think people are getting wise to this and lots of youngsters are putting a lot more thought into whether university is right for them. The new education secretary it talking more about skills which IMO is laudable but we need a bigger conversation about what school is for. At the moment success is only measured by standardised exam grades. It needs to be recognised that success can be in many different forms. |  | |  |

Totally agree. In recent years University has been in many cases just snobbery by parents to say "my child is in University, look how clever they are". The facts are some need to go to University to get the qualifications to pursue their chosen career, many others are just wasting their time without a thought for the debt they are piling up. |  | |  |
