It's not cold yet. I've not used central heating for four days so far, just these electric blankets - they're large enough to keep the trunk of the body warm, which warms legs. As a shawl, they cover the upper back and sholders, which usefully keeps my lungs warm (always a problem for me, lungs). I think it contains the same heating element as used in the 80W version, which uses more because it's longer and for a double. I may try a double, but that may be too large a shawl - the elements break if bent at too acute angle .I'll likely be forced to switch on central heating (at a low setting) to supplement heating by blanket, when it gets properly cold... but one thing is for certain: I will be paying less overall using these electric blankets.
I'll riot by myself tonight!
Ah but Tories love landlords - won't impose a rent cap, because they're rightly terrified about the property market collapsing, and part of the approx. 43% of UK wealth tied up in property disappearing. Compared to the 70's, we have scant social housing to help the many homeless to be, because they haven't built to replace what was sold off - another stupid Tory idea and failure...
This won't end for years, we should nationalise all energy companies right now, because it won't cost much comparatively: less than a 1/10th of the original support plan they have scrapped. Germany has started
It will take a little longer for the Tory herd to move - the last time their bowels moved, they shat Truss at us.
My very elderly cats being ill, was why I bought electric blankets in the first place years ago - nearly all of them suffer from cat flu, when exposed to very cold weather (or other cats) for long periods of time (they'll stalk prey obsessively for hours, no matter the weather), which as in humans, can be fatal in old age. It's particularly time to worry, when they cough.
I fear it won't be long nealh - we're British, but we're angry. But riots won't change much. I did a spot of rioting by myself earlier, nothing changed
You may not want one, they might be able to switch you off at the whim of the overlords. brownout anyone?
A large % of sitting MP's are landlords. Sadly including those in opposition.
Wouldn't bother I doubt that'll heat a hamster. I purchased gloves once, I would say I got burnt but that actually would of been better then nothing.
Novara Media on Youtube do some interesting takes on news with Socialism style journalism & commentary, sometimes a little much even for this socialist but some nice food for thought, they had "Gary Stevenson" a British trader turned truth teller on for a ching wag and I watched the entire hour.

The USB cable for a so-called coffee cup heater I tried out of casual interest, yellowed quite rapidly, and the heating pad didn't manage to output much heat at all. That I can't imagine USB powered heated waistcoats would be any good, powered by what are after all puny power banks, has stayed my "Buy now" button clicking finger.
They have an altogether more powerful heated chair in the US.
A ponzi scheme for all to enjoy, I agree the sums don't add up and the final demand will be issued very soon, the devil will come to collect. People will find it hard, if not impossible to survive.
That can't exist without it's opposite and the status quo - one can exist without the other two, therefore they are all equally powerful.
Instead of the present system leading us to extinction, I want a monetary system based on the survival of humans on Earth - but I don't think using tree leaves as money, is the way forward:
Low wages are the problem, not taxation
Dont fall asleep wearing it or you may cook in your own juices
If there was a version of that waistcoat plus power pack, capable of turning me into a boil in the bag supper for cannibals, I'd buy it! Ambient heating is quite wasteful.
