Ovo Energy sorry over advice to cuddle pets to stay warm

19 comments
  1. In all fairness, my dog is like a little heater. Cuddling up under a blanket with him with a good book would genuinely save on my heating bills. It’s good advice.

  2. I’ve been cuddling the koi in the pond for a while and it’s not done much good. The numbness helps a bit. But the wife said she isn’t going to resuscitate me for 6th time.

  3. Telling people to keep their ovens open after cooking is far worse/more dangerous than telling them to hug their loved ones

  4. They think the problem is simply people being cold, not people unable to pay to heat their homes because the gulf between wages and cost of living are growing larger and larger under a system where wealth is being hoarded by those at the top.

  5. I cant remember how many exactly but someone did the maths and I think it was 48 cats to keep you warm without having to use heating

  6. If only we had a gas supply close by, like in the North Sea or something. Oh well, thanks Gazprom.

  7. Pffft.. what kind of advice is that? If films have taught me anything, it’s to slice your pet open and climb inside.

  8. Great bit of free publicity this has all been. Well played whoever at Ovo came up with this “mistake”!

  9. I don’t get it, they should advise people to use as much as possible to benefit from the big prices.

  10. I don’t need to, the missus makes the temperatures reached recently by the Chinese fusion reactor test look like a ‘big coat day’ temperature

  11. Some poor copywriter has written the obvious tips incorporating the keywords they’ve been given. These kinds of articles aren’t supposed to give useful information, they’re to move the website up the search rankings.

  12. It could be worse, my area was recently blanket targeted by BP with a leaflet about what they’re doing to help with climate change. Had a section titled ‘what you can do to help ease yourself into the transition to a climate change affected future’ offering such suggestions as:

    Flood proof your house

    Maintain physical fitness

    Stockpile sterilised water

    Stockpile beans, Lentils and other pulses and legumes

    Tell your relatives you love them more frequently

    Develop acceptance of your mortality

    Become at peace with your impending death

    When this becomes difficult begin consuming large quantities of alcohol

    I rang to complain and they said they’re just being helpful what am I complaining about

  13. I for one welcome getting tips on staying warm without heating. Was reading some interesting articles about “clo ratings” last night.

  14. I laughed at the absurdity of this when I heard it on the radio this morning, not least because porridge has to be heated, which uses energy.
