Re: Gasoline Prices

Isn't that just in the beginning when you're all new with no credit or driving history? Local friends seem to pay very little for theirs (although I never had a car in the UK so what do I know!)

Re: Need some advice about this situation

Nobody seems to mind when blokes are selling illegally imported fags in the boozer these days. Why not get the Zippos out there at the same time!

Re: Need some advice about this situation

Re: Effect and Affect

Re: British government launches on-line registration system for Brits around the worl

Re: British government launches on-line registration system for Brits around the worl
