UK: Survey shows some ten million households cannot afford another energy bills rise

The survey also reveals one in two households (13 million) are planning to cut down on heating as the cold weather draws in this winter, 54 per cent will become more energy efficient and four million (15 per cent) of homes will take drastic measures to reduce their energy usage by cooking fewer hot meals.

Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at uSwitch.com, said: "Households who are concerned about their jobs, their homes and their ongoing ability to pay their bills will be left with no choice but to cut back on both heating and eating this winter.

I'm also guessing that this winter, most Brits will not be flying to Hawaii on a "private" Boeing 757 that burns 900 gallons of fuel per hour.
