Janet Street Porter is quite vicious about Gransnet daring to quote an opinion on this. here Quite vicious about Gransnet in general, in fact. What have we done to her to bring that on?

There is also an article about it in The Times this morning. If I can find it online I shall cut and paste.

I've just had my winter fuel allowance for the first time and it's taken so much pressure off me worrying about heating the house this winter. Really scared that, as usual I'll end up being in the group that misses out yet again [always had to pay for prescriptions etc etc whilst seeing people who seem far richer than me not pay sad].

Just on the Wright Stuff - reported that 75% in Gransnet survey backed the idea of a means test for the fuel allowance. I thought it would turn into a discussion, but it was just given an approving nod and they moved on.
