Daily bread

So the government has generously donated another £45 million to the Low Carbon Buildings Fund. Isn't that kind?

This largesse amounts to approximately 75p per person in the UK. What will you do with yours? Put it towards a jubilee clip for your solar hot water system? Or maybe a single solar cell for your PV array... well, half a cell maybe. No, hang on - nearer a quarter.

How about popping down to Homebase for a trowel to dig holes in your garden for a ground source heat pump? Shame it won't cover the cost of a JCB, but you know, times are hard.

You can barely buy a loaf of bread with 75p these days. Small change won't tackle climate change, Gordon - isn't it about time you got serious?
