Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8PTWX - Thickly battered fish and chips with curry sauce are served in a white recyclable tray inside a British chip shop, with wooden cutlery and a takeaway-style presentation adding to the everyday fast-food setting. The golden batter, chunky chips and bright curry sauce make the image a strong editorial view of a classic British supper, but it also carries useful contemporary context about the rising cost of fish and chips. The fish could be cod, haddock or another white fish, so captions should avoid claiming a species unless confirmed by the shop or menu. That caution is especially relevant because recent reporting and trade discussion have highlighted pressure on chip shops from sharply rising cod and haddock prices, with some operators promoting cheaper alternatives such as pollock, and concern about mislabelled catfish, pangasius or river cobbler being sold where customers expected traditional cod or haddock. The image is commercially useful for stories about food inflation, cost of living, takeaway meals, family budgets, chip shop closures, seafood supply chains, fish quotas, imported fish costs, cooking oil, potatoes, packaging, labour costs and the survival of traditional British high street food. It can also illustrate consumer choice, portion sizes, recyclable packaging, casual dining, fast food, comfort food, working-class food culture and regional variations in chippy menus. The curry sauce adds a familiar British chip shop detail, while the thick orange batter and tray setting make the meal instantly recognisable. It is also useful for features on cheaper fish substitutes, clear menu labelling, and how small food businesses balance honesty, affordability and survival. As a documentary stock image, it captures both the appeal and the pressure around fish and chips: still a much-loved national meal, but no longer the cheap supper it once was as ingredients, energy, wages and wholesale fish prices continue to squeeze both customers and shop owners.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTYF8T - Save up to 8% in gas use, by turning down the 'flow' temperature, a tip from Money Saving expert to reduce fuel bill and poverty
A recent report by the Heating and Hot Water Council (HHIC)* found that households can save around 6-8% in gas just by turning down the heating flow temperature on their condensing combi boiler. To be clear, this is not turning down your thermostat.
Nearly all combi boilers are not optimised to run as efficiently as they should, which increases household gas bills and emits more carbon. Reducing the operating temperature for heating will help your boiler run more efficiently without reducing your comfort.
You will need to have a condensing combi boiler, i.e. a boiler that produces your heating and hot water. You will have a combi boiler if you do not have a hot water cylinder. It will definitely be a condensing boiler if it was fitted in the last 16 years. A condensing boiler will also have a white plastic pipe underneath the boiler (although it can be grey or black).
Most combi boilers have two dials: one for heating (usually with a little radiator icon over it) and one for hot water (with a little tap icon). Some only have one dial but it is usually for the heating flow temperatures. Some dials do not provide the actual temperature setting. Some like Worcester are numbered 1-6, some have dashed lines and others a curved line of increasing thickness. Some user manuals do provide additional information.

Fuel poverty definition in England and Wales
Until recently, the usual definition of fuel poverty was that a household was considered to be in fuel poverty when it needed to spend more than 10% of its income on fuel “ or energy as it is often called.
However, in June 2013, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC)* published 'A framework for future action' which set out the Government's intention to adopt a new definition of fuel poverty for England.
This new definition states that a household is said to be in fuel poverty if:
They have required fuel costs that are above average (the national median level), and
Were they to spend that amount they would be left with a residual income below the official poverty line.
This also uses a fuel poverty gap - i.e. the difference between a household's 'modelled' (average) bill and what their bill would need to be for them to no longer be fuel poor.
Read the Department for Energy and Climate Change's Fuel Poverty framework for future action
* DECC was closed on 14 July 2016 by the Prime Minister Theresa May. Energy issues will now be covered by a new department called Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Fuel poverty definition in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland still largely use the old definition: that a person is living in fuel poverty if, to heat their home to a satisfactory standard, they need to spend more than 10 per cent of their household income on fuel.
Key fuel poverty factors
The key factors that can contribute to fuel poverty are:
The energy efficiency of the property (and therefore, the energy required to heat and power the home)
The cost of energy
Household income.
Number of households in fuel poverty is rising
The number of households experiencing fuel poverty is rising at the moment for several reasons:

UKHSA warns of lower levels of natural immunity to flu this year and increased coronavirus (COVID-19) circulation
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is urging everyone eligible for a free flu vaccine and a COVID-19 booster to take up the offer as soon as possible ahead of what could be a difficult winter with respiratory viruses circulating widely.
International surveillance shows that H3N2 “ a subtype of influenza type A “ is currently the most-commonly detected flu virus worldwide. H3N2 has recently caused waves of infection in southern hemisphere countries such as Australia, which has also experienced flu circulating earlier than usual in their winter season.
This H3N2 strain circulated in the UK last winter but was held largely in check by COVID-19 restrictions when people mixed a lot less and worked from home. This helped to protect people from catching flu but has also led to lower levels of natural immunity to this strain building up within the population.
There was record uptake of the flu jab in people aged 65 and over in 2021 and 2022 (82%), though there was lower uptake among people in clinical risk groups and pregnant women and these groups are particularly encouraged to come forward this year.
All primary school children and some secondary school children are eligible for the flu nasal spray this year, which is usually given at school. GP surgeries are also inviting children aged 2 and 3 years old (age on 31 August) for this nasal spray vaccination at their practices.
Most young children will not have encountered flu yet. This means they will not have built up any natural immunity to this virus, so it is particularly important for them to take up the flu vaccine this year.
In addition to the predicted flu wave, we have early indications that COVID-19 rates are beginning to rise ahead of winter, increasing the threat to people's health

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFP2N - The Environment Agency (EA) is a non-departmental public body, established in 1995 and sponsored by the United Kingdom government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), with responsibilities relating to the protection and enhancement of the environment in England (and until 2013 also Wales).
Purpose
The Environment Agency's stated purpose is, to protect or enhance the environment, taken as a whole so as to promote the objective of achieving sustainable development (taken from the Environment Act 1995, section 4). Protection of the environment relates to threats such as flood and pollution. The vision of the Agency is of a rich, healthy and diverse environment for present and future generations.
Scope
The Environment Agency's remit covers almost the whole of England, about 13 million hectares of land, 22,000 miles (35,000 km) of river and 3,100 miles (5,000 km) of coastline seawards to the three-mile limit which includes 2 million hectares of coastal waters.[2] In a sharing arrangement with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), it also exercises some of its functions over parts of the catchments of the River Tweed and the Border Esk which are, for the most part, in Scotland. Similarly, in an arrangement with NRW, political and operational areas are not coterminus. NRW staff exercise responsibility for parts of the River Dee (Wales) in England and EA staff exercise operational responsibility for those parts of the River Severn catchment in Wales.
Structure
The Environment Agency employs around 11,200 staff. It is organised into eight directorates that report to the chief executive.
There are two policy and process directorates. One deals with Flood and Coastal Risk Management and the other with Environment and Business. These are backed up by the Evidence directorate. The fourth directorate is a single Operations delivery unit, responsible for national services, and line management of all the Regional and Area staff.
