Can you afford another Β£80 on your heating bill?

British Gas are putting their gas and electricity prices up by 6%. This will directly affect around 15 million households and it follows British Gas reporting a rise in operating profits at its retail arm of 23% to Β£345 million pounds. SSE which operates three other brands including Southern Electric is putting prices up by 9%.

Are you anxious about your heating bill - the average dual fuel bill is currently Β£1,300. Can you afford even more? What happened last winter - were you cold? Did you switch suppliers? Did you just heat part of your home? Maybe you've invested in insulation. Or moved to a smaller property.

If you live in the countryside you will be affected by the cost of heating oil - how much is that now costing you?

Also - do you believe in aliens? Have you or anyone you know ever seen a UFO? Do you believe the Government is hiding extraterrestrial activity from us? If so, then you are in the majority according to a new study.

A recent report shows we are a nation of believers. More than one in 10 people think alien life will be discovered in their lifetime. In fact almost one in five, believe extra terrestrial beings have already landed on earth.

What do you think? Do you believe?

We speak to the UK's top UFO expert, Nick Pope.

We hear your views and stories.
