00:00Some people might argue that it's not enough. However, I feel it's little steps towards a bigger target that targets this price cap.

00:08So I think it's a positive approach.

00:11I haven't actually been as badly affected by the energy prices as most because I was on a very low fixed rate deal, which was very lucky.

00:21But that won't go on forever. So any drop is good.

00:24I think the energy cap is good, but I think surely we could do more, have more support and the cap even lower and lower.

00:31Because I personally know a lot of people have a struggle with energy prices, they can't afford it.

00:36It does seem to ease quite a lot. We are relatively economical with our use anyway.

00:41So I haven't necessarily noticed it falling in particular, but it hasn't been, it obviously hasn't seemed as sharp lately.

00:50It's definitely noticeably come down, isn't it? It's stabilised or reduced.

00:55And it's obviously easing with the easing of the inflation generally.
