Sir, – I was amazed to enter a café yesterday that had the heating on full but had the front door wide open on a bitterly cold day. I offered to close the door but was informed it is policy to keep it open. I find such a policy crazy in a situation where we are critically short of power and when such businesses have the option to claim back some of their increased energy costs from the taxpayer. Business owners ought be aware of the supports they are receiving and not waste their taxpayer-funded aid. – Yours, etc,
