This 傾向 should continue into the first week of November at least. So that means they should get lower 法案s th an they might have done with a normal October. But we have to remember that, with 関税s for gas and electricity 概略で 二塁打 what they were a year ago, 世帯s will not やむを得ず be 支払う／賃金ing いっそう少なく than 2021.'

Last October, 法案s for a typical 使用者 ran to £1,277 ? the highest 量 in a １０年間.
