So it would seem. In more ways than one.
Very thoughtful of Public Health England to suggest that the elderly heat only the living room in daytime this winter. Have they any idea? This is what we did last winter before this year's horrendous price hikes.
Anybody got a spare tin bath I can put in the living room? Kitchen too small and unheated anyway.
I suppose if loads of us get carried off with hypothermia it will cut down NHS expenses. But if we just get carried off to hospital.....? Cut down on our expenses!

I think many of us are complaining but the point is that it is more difficult for the very elderly to keep warm without heating.....and they are the least likely to know how or be willing to seek help.
There are of course other vulnerable groups but if we are fit and able to keep warm we are in a better position.

Now you are being silly, FGT. Do we ration our complaints about unfairness when we reach pensionable age to suit the likes of you?
What god give right? What am I asking to be given? Like I said I have a good income that I worked and saved for....some may not be so lucky and I am happy to complain on their behalf.
I did recognise other vulnerable groups previously.
I take it if we were to muster a grey brigade to make changes for the future you would refuse any benefits that were achieved because of your present attitude?

From the last available figures for winter 2009/10 there were 25,810 excess winter deaths, of these 2100 were in those aged 0-64 therefore less than 10% of the total were NOT OAPS. From the same report comes this statement on causes 'It has been shown that low indoor temperature is associated with higher EWM from cardiovascular disease in England (Wilkinson et al., 2001)' Also 'The cold can have various physiological effects, which may lead to death in vulnerable people. Woodhouse et al (1993) found that colder home temperature was associated with increased blood pressure in older people. The Eurowinter group (1997) noted that cold causes haemoconcentration, which leads to thrombosis, and that cold can also lower the immune system’s resistance to respiratory infections.'
