I Just Paid £559 For A Tank Of Heating Oil.

960 litres. It should last well into Spring.
You don't hear much about fuel poverty these days, do you?

Can you use it in your car ?

[sunny-dave]

I'll be doing similar (only more expensive) once we get our Kerry house bought - it brings home the cost of heating in a way that a monthly drip-feed to Mr Ovo doesn't ...

... mind you your £200 from HMG pays for just over a 1/3 of it?

[sandyRoe]

It's not a diesel car.
There's under the counter 'red diesel' which finds it way from farms into the tanks of suitable cars.
But thats another story.

I'd forgotten all about my winter fuel payment.

[wolf63]

does this mean that you will be hibernating for the entire winter in Northern Ireland

Mind the travellers don't get their mitts on it first.

[sunny-dave]

Mine bounced into my bank today, Sandy - my wine merchant is on standby ...

do they run central heating systems on mulled wine in Ireland, sd? An excellent idea.

[bhg481]

SD - that's an interesting definition of central heating (you drink the fuel).

[sandyRoe]

A great idea, Dave. £200 worth of wine would keep me warm for a while.
Wolf, i think I'll get itchy feet in late January.
Spicerack, I've a lock on the tank but don't think it would present much of an obstacle to a determined traveller

[retrocop]

They would nick the bloody tank as well. Why bother syphoning. lol

Bangor fuels are charging 500 for a 1000 litres

for water? - sounds cheap, Islay......
