How would you like to save maybe £12 per year?

[Christmas Dynasnow]

So there is an advert on Talksport and other places a lot at the moment from
the "Government" telling us that an energy saving new shower head (or a
poorer flow one) "could" save us £40 a year.


No mention that they cost around £28 so you "could" save £12 or so a year


What is the actual point of such adverts that cost us a small fortune to make
and run in prime spots?

Am i missing something?

There’s another one suggesting we set our clothes washers to 30 degrees to save £20 a year !!


That’s about enough to get fish , chips and peas twice !!

There's a couple of radio adverts going.

One an upbeat woman telling us to save money, turn off a radiator you're not using.

I mean, do they really think we're that dumb? It's just common sense.

when the energy costs were at their highest, and costing people a fortune, they were recommending things that saved £5 a year. I think they are actually trolling

2 other things to note from this pathetic advert

It says that a benefit to buying a new shower head is to save water :skull: when CEOs of water companies have been raking in huge bonuses for polluting our rivers 365 days a year

and it says "you know how all the best ideas come to you in the shower?"

has anyone seriously heard anyone ever say that?

[bots]

the best ideas come on the crapper, everyone knows that :fist:

use F1TV not Viaplay


you save up a lot of money :fan:



F1TV once a year 69 euros


Viaplay 18 euros a month, so thats way over 200 a year

i also put my computer off for couple hours in the day, when i go on my PS4, not having two things on same time also saves up some energy

+ my computer can rest and cool down either, win win

They do things like this all the time. Sunak announcing "great things" they've done to make families "better off" by like £150 a year. Completely detached from the actual costs of running a normal household.

Basically IMO, the issue is that when you're a multi-millionaire it's hard to remember the difference between £150 and £1500... and even moreso with ones who also grew up rich.
