Such due diligence is commendable but are you subject to mis selling regulations like an independent financial adviser? 

Have you been mis sold a combi  boiler in the last 10 years.  If so we  offer a no win no fee no hassle claim service. 

Has a nice ring to it.

For a high oil user he could hedge against rising oil costs by buying an oil derivatives or more simplistically oil shares.

 

I'm just installing a wood burner with back boiler to reduce oil use, which in a rural area with access to "free" wood makes sense.

For a current client we went with a log gassification boiler ( as a WBS isn't eligible for RHI ). Have you looked at that as an option? Payback will cover the clients entire capital outlay on the equipment side. :)

And the list would go on. ;)

@Nickfromwales, concerning a 20-year horizon, I would consider that to be substantially in the realm of politics, not economics.

Yes, sadly not the easiest or possibly most realistic question to ask....was hoping the answer would be as simple as me :S

Is that the royal we?

 

 

I accept a degree of collective responsibility for the prevailing condition of Britons and British society, then I spend time worrying about the national trajectory.

 

20 years ago I spent 3 years living in France and managed to avoid all those vulgar french citizens urinating and defecating in public as reported by @JSHarris, however each time I got on a ferry to visit the UK I had a salutatory reminder of the state of Britain as the British came waddling down the deck. There was a stark contrast between life each end of the ferry trip.

 

I had an interesting 2am Christmas political debate with with someone who has returned to the UK after 20 years raising a family in the USA. As a side note he is appalled by the level of vulgarity experienced in daily life here, his 20 years away give him a special perspective and he feels life has changed remarkably for the worse.

 

I recall this person dressing like Citizen Smith in the 1970's and attending university protest marches supporting radical socialism of the period, today he is a 60 something big state liberal. During our 2am political debate about UK obesity he expressed a Hilary Clinton like position that the obese are deplorable because they have consciously ignored 30 years of NHS health advice. I found myself in a strange position of adopting a socialist argument expressing concern for the medically disadvantaged and then stating there must be a deeper social/medical-science explanation yet to be discovered.

 

Regardless of explanations for the malaise I am convinced the national trajectory is heading for second world status, a plummeting pound and oil at £200 a barrel.

No but some people like to sleep at night ... 

 

 

Slightly related and in the news last week, Barclays and others are in trouble for mis selling PV installation loans but this would have been covered by financial product legislation. Think I heard this on a Radio 4 consumer advice program.
