    Had a letter today just to my address with no name from an energy saving company from Rochdale offering a £10000 government grant regarding heating. Any body else had the same and thoughts please.

    Govt are offering a £7.5k grant towards air/ground source heat pumps, I haven't heard about £10k if there is one.

    I once bought a book on eBay 'How to scam people online.' It never arrived.

    I thought it was Barnsley and Spurs season ticket sales.

    Probably a bunch of cowboys.



    Edit; I saw Mike Harding in about 1972 at the folk club at Wath Grammar school, he was hilarious.

    It’s hard being a cowboy in Rochdale

    Something on facebook from .gov.uk offering a grant for those with oil boilers.
    Then you read the comments that say it's only available to those on benefits. Raised much anger from those saying that it should be available to all, not just benefit claimants who, they say, aren't contributing or have never contributed in order to deserve it.

    I thought we'd found Watters contract and it had the word "Striker" in it
