I just checked the temps in several English cities, and I didn't see any conditions that would inspire me to turn on the heat. It's been colder here in Colorado, I have no problem paying my bills, and I haven't turned on my heat either. Even if I were sitting in Aberdeen, I'd just put on a warm pair of socks and throw another blanket on the bed
The world is suffering from high energy costs, which of course creates high inflation, as you can see not just in the UK. If the global cost of fuel rises so will inflation, the cost of making goods goes up, the cost of transporting goods goes up - bloody everything goes up!
Hello, the UK AGAIN!? Things are no worse here than they are anywhere else on the planet! Inflation is global, the alarming rise in energy costs is global, In fact things are actually better here than in (for example) the EU which, unlike the UK, relied heavily on Russian gas
Perhaps you can tell me why you, among others obsess over the UK?
Right. And the temps in most of the UK are still very mild.

It's colder where I live and I didn't turn the heater on, yet.
Houses are well insulated and my indoor temp is 74F.
I guess, the US media/public obsession about how bad are things in Europe is to divert the public attention from how bad are things back home, in the US.

The UK has mild winters, as a young man I lived in a first floor flat, neighbours below, neighbours above, neighbours either side and I never had to put any heating on!

You do seem obsessed with many strictly USA issues I've noticed.
I personally have many friends and former colleagues in the UK, I try to keep myself at least informed about UK issues so I can discuss these issues with them on occasion. I think Liz Truss is just the medicine for UK at this time although paying for most of people's electric bills and other decisions has crashed the pound sterling.
Inflation was caused by Joe Biden, UK and the EU sanctioning Russian oil and gas as well as governments passing out money to people not earning it.
