A nearly 100-year-old war veteran from Leeds says he is living in fear of how to pay his bills as the cost of living crisis continues. Jack Mortimer, 99, from Leeds, fought for his country on D-Day at the age of 20.
But now, the former despatch driver is closely monitoring his energy meter and is hesitant to switch on his lights. He and others in his flat block are "feeling the pinch", The Mirror reports.
Jack takes four buses everyday, to visit his wife of 78 years, Flo, 97, who is in a care home with dementia. He turns everything off before leaving his flat, but when he's home, he only boils enough water for one cup of tea and turns off the hot water every other night.
