00:09fuel allowance. I don't think that was fair for a lot of people. I mean, we can manage.

00:15I mean, we're sort of quite lucky, but there's a lot of people that really struggle with

00:20that. And we are very fugal with our heating in the winter. You know, we don't have it

00:29it. And we go round in warm woolies the rest of the time. The average household now pays

00:34£1,738 a year. Is this too much? It's too much. It's so unfair on young, young people

00:41with children. It's just, it's not right. And the government's not doing anything. It's

00:47a lot of money, isn't it? I mean, I am fortunate and I don't have, I can have my heating on.
