Government 20 million advert

Indeed Aveline you can't please all of the people all of the time.

In terms of government spending £20m is negligible.

If it helps people who may not have much experience or knowledge about this, it’s certainly worth it.

It might be, but if you add up all these ‘little’ amounts of money wasted, then it would be a sizeable amount.
Look after the pennies and the pounds ( or millions) look after themselves.
Are there people who don’t know how to draw the curtains to keep out the cold? Oh wait, they’re the people who can’t afford the curtains.

It's a lot of money yes, but if it were divided amongst the UK population, its 29p each

I didn't need to be told this. Only pointing out how it's impossible to keep everyone happy!

Avaline don’t you think that ship sailed when winter began and fuel prices rose, don’t you think we were given all this advice already, my Fb newsfeed is saturated with adverts telling me to apply for this, that and the other to warm my house Martin Lewis and others have been on TV for weeks giving us all these tips
The ship sailed weeks ago so yes it’s a bloody huge waste of money

There was a big hoohaa when the energy price rises were announced. People were complaining that there wasn't a public campaign to highlight how to save energy. Now there is.
Can't win it seems!

It does seem like a big waste of taxpayers' money but there may be some who need telling and always will, I suppose. In WW2 there were wardens to enforce the blackout even though most people followed the rules.

Twenty million for telling us the bl***ing obvious!
