Here’s a fact that will blow your fuse: if you’re over 60, you automatically qualify. Yes, the moment you hit your sixth decade, the government basically goes, “Right, you get priority toasts.”
But here’s the kicker—most people don’t even know they’re on it. It’s like accidentally joining a secret society for people who forget to charge their phones. I once met a woman who had been on the register for eight years and thought it was a rewards program for buying lightbulbs.
Another insane fact: if you’re on the register during a power cut, they can even arrange emergency heating or temporary accommodation. That’s right—if your house goes cold, they might put you up in a hotel. It’s like winning a mini lottery, but the prize is “not freezing.”
