Despite last winter being one of the worst for 30 years - and predictions of another cold winter this year - a British Gas survey has found that 68 per cent of people fail to prepare their homes for winter before a problem arises, with 41 per cent doing nothing at all and a further 27 per cent only taking action once something has gone wrong.
