Because of the rejection of Russian energy, the British electric blanket sales have increased sharply in the past two days. Obviously it is spring, why can't the British resist the urge to shop and stock up on winter supplies?
According to the British "Daily Mirror" reported that in recent days, the sales of electric blankets in British supermarkets have increased significantly, and the reason why citizens buy winter heating supplies is to prepare for the severe winter without central air conditioning after December.
The British weather forecast said that these days are also particularly cold, and the European continent is experiencing a cold spring. The average temperature in the British Isles is only 10°C, which is the coldest April in the UK in 70 years.
Housewives who buy electric blankets say that the main thing is that spring is coming to an end, and it is about to enter the summer, and supermarkets will dispose of down jackets and smart electric blankets that were not sold out last winter at low prices. In a supermarket, an electric blanket costs only 35 pennies, which is much more cost-effective than using central air conditioning. One penny is equivalent to 8 cents, which is almost equivalent to free gifts, cabbage prices.
The older generation of Britons comforted the young people, "Don't be arrogant, we didn't have central air conditioning when we were young, and we are still alive and well." ”
Last year, for example, an average household spent £800 a year on energy, equivalent to 6,400 yuan, and the government subsidized 350 pounds a year to each household, which quickly overwhelmed the government.
It was raining, fresh branches were blowing in the wind, and the pigeons were shivering with frost. Thinking that there are still 5 months to enter the winter, the British people are very pessimistic about the future, mainly at the end of this year, do not think about using heating.
European countries have refused to buy Russian energy, and the British have quarreled over energy issues, some insisting on solar energy, and some proposing that nuclear power plants must be made. Public theory is reasonable, the mother says that the mother is reasonable, to do the nuclear power plant said that solar energy can not meet the industrial electricity, to use solar energy to accuse the nuclear power plant of radiation, now none of them can convince anyone.
At the other end of the British Isles, the Germans on the eu continent decided to live the fireplace again. Just like in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, the snow is falling and the family lives in a Baroque house, discussing celebrity gossip around the fireplace.
A German farmer told a friend, "Energy prices have risen several times, and burning firewood can save a lot of money." "In the past few days, he has cut down a few withered old trees around the yard, split them into firewood and stored them in the storeroom, and when it snows in winter, he will take them out for warmth.
The UK has a higher urbanization rate than Germany, and London has a 90% urbanization rate and a population of 5.31 million, and it is clear that they cannot solve the heating problem like German farmers. However, UK experts have suggested that the government add £200 to each household's energy subsidy after October arrives.
