Not so! The reason was simple forgetfulness associated with advancing
age,
combined with an inhumane gas supply company.

Inhumane? Where does that come from? If people don't pay for supplies you
stop supplying them, it's common sense, good business practice, and quite
right.

Forgetfull, advancing age, if only they had paid by Direct Debit then they
could have forgotten about it.
However, would they have turned the heating up when it got cold, it's the
reluctance to do that simple act that kills so many in this country.
