The Department of Health's Heatwave Plan for England, which is designed to counter the effects of climate change, reports that painting brickwork white will cost a homeowner around �3,750.

Changing flooring comes in at a touch over �2,000, while installing ceiling fans can cost �545.

Blimey how much is all this going to cost the tax payer, taking into account the expense accounts for MPs who have two to three homes?

Can't stop I'm off to B&Q before things run out. There's 10% off for pensioners on Wednesdays.

Well the ceiling fans should up the carbon footprint a bit more - and the production of all that paint.

It is of course all a load og hogwash so they can tax us even more. Dont forget the VAT !

I think Youngmafbog the tax on petrol and diesel being what it was they'd be telling us to buy bigger thirstier cars if the idea was just to fleece us.

I don't think VAT on a few cans of paint quite matches up to a tank full of unleaded.

Or is the plan to fleece us by cunningly getting us all to drive down to B&Q?
