Aye I know you were mate. I wish the media would stop with the 'OMG! 8 quid a year' line of reporting (channel 4 news did this last night as well in regard projected energy price increases). It is a way of obfuscating what the cash is actually going to be spent on, well, to me it seems that way.
Understandably it would be really, really difficult to fully unpack what it will be spent on, and the benefits of it being spent that way. BUT, please try someone, anyone. Cos if that was attempted properly we'd be able to take more part in the debate about how it should be spent and the cost/benefit ratio.
Edit : various edits, cos I' fucked up, a lot.
