I have often wondered about this.

If a person needs a house rewiring and is without the means to pay for it
and it is in such a dreadful state, do the electricity companies just cut
them off or is there a system in place whereby they can get financial help
in the form of grants etc.

No, it's a fact of life in the UK.

As a full time employed 40 yr old married heterosexual father of two I get
nothing. No help at all with anything at home.

However, my chav layabout step niece as a sixteen year old "unable to work
because she's a single mum" scum bag basically gets her house, furniture,
DIY etc etc etc supplied free or at least at a very cut price.

Guess who pays for that? yup people like you and me, through taxes!

So no, I believe the train of though was correct.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Al"
saying something like:

method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a
newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

It might have been the case in the old days that the meter reader might
have reported something that was really old, but I doubt it.
Nowadays there is noway that the the supply company would have any clue as
to what is in your house.

I have no idea about grants for home improvement.
