An OAP who's been left 'freezing' in his home uses a sleeping bag to stay warm in the evenings after a condensation problem left him without any insulation in the loft of his bungalow. David Harding, from Swansea, said he is 'afraid I'm going to die of cold' and believes it is chillier inside his council home than it is outside at the moment, Wales Online reports.
Temperatures have significantly dropped in the last few weeks across the UK with record breaking cold conditions leaving many struggling to afford to stay warm this winter amid the cost of living crisis. The 81-year-old said he has tried his best to wrap up in extra layers and with a hot water bottle but things have gone from bad to worse after he got a new kitchen fitted last month.
The pensioner spotted a leak coming from his ceiling which was causing water to drip down into his cupboards and his ceiling light. He said that the water was running from the lights like a 'tap' as he managed to fill up two buckets full.
