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?



meanwhile after the Superbowl around 500 private Jets left LV Airport

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 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?

the best ideas come on the crapper, everyone knows that

use F1TV not Viaplay


you save up a lot of money



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.
