Well, I hope the residents of Exwick remember this and take their business elsewhere when the supply shortage is over.

That's the thing, really... yes, petrol in the UK is painfully expensive, but the tax that makes it painfully expensive means that other aspects of UK life are not as painfully expensive as they are in many other countries. And let's face it, in not very many years, cheap petrol's going to be a thing of the past everywhere, including the UAE... Britain's just getting people used to the idea early ;) |
Re: UK Petrol hits £1.99 a litre!!
The £1.99 a litre is the price a rip off garage has been charging down in Devon - they are making the most of the recent tanker strike and should be fined for doing this. I'm currently in UK and have just filled up at £1.15 a litre - still expensive though!:curse:

Well, what's more important to you... being able to fill up cheaply, or knowing that if you need medical treatment, nobody's going to check that you can afford to pay for it before a doctor so much as looks at you? Or, if you have kids, that they're entitled to an education without your having to stump up thousands of pounds in fees at the start of each term? Etc.
