For what it's worth, I bet the majority of younger people know more swearwords than their elder counterparts anyway

Apologies.
Obviously currency debasement is a lesser threat to the future of our children than language found in "The Machinegunners" which was a
book on the syllabus in my English literature class as a thirteen year old. I will be more careful in future

Only because kids make up words as they go along. 
Lad i worked with used the word 'bare' to mean lots. I should have bought him a dictonary as a leaving present!

You should have slapped yourself with a dictionary to have allowed him to continue.
Round here "pure" meant lots... Until you talked to me... I'm a "see you next tuesday" about talking poo like that
But back on topic... We're not only being held to ransom by the tax office (without which our petrol prices would be in line with America, ish)
but also by the manufacturers of the alternatives that are "due out soon"

I think it needs to be said, that instead of blaming the government, think about your own choice come next election. There is a choice, believe it or
not. The oil companies are gouging too, to a much greater extent than a few years ago.

Tanked up Friday 5 minutes after BP had put the price up (doh), if the Government dont get you the oil Co's will, obviously they think that
putting the price up just after the budget will make the average Joe think the government is the culprit. Do these greedy b@stards not realise theres
a recession on and thier avarice is killing everyone and forcing all prices up.

So....we, as in the western world, are addicted to the cheap goods come out of China and other emerging economies to the point we are not prepared to
pay home grown prices. The knock on effect is the emerging economies get larger and the workers start wanting to have what their western equivalents
have....cars and other personal transport. Therefore we see an explosion of power usage in China to make the cheap goods we love so much and the
dramatic increase in the motor car and hence fuel consumption off the wealth that is created.
In short, if you want to reduce the unemployment in this country and get all the engineers back to work and to reduce your fuel costs stop being
locost and support local industry. Now debate that !

People working in Nottingham ( myself included) will from next month have to pay £280 plus vat just for the pleasure of parking at your own place of
work, this fee could increase considerably in the coming years, other councils will be watching with interest.
Add that to the cost of fuel and some people are feeling the pain.
