I cannot remember the percentage off the top of my head but I know it is about 4 million people who pay higher rate i.e over 50 percent - <snip> But personally, I do not class taking a THIRD of my income as basic rate tax. I regard it as highway robbery

So, how are you finding the prices in the UK? [QUOTE=rugbymatt;7089352]yeah here too, when we came up to Norphuk it cost nearly 110 to fill the tank, its about 80 now....[/QUOTE] You must have a gas guzzler, for sure....even my (obscenely large) 4x4 fills for less than 70euros now, usually 65 or less - and despite Gordo's best, that's not much more than £67? Mind you, from memory, in deepest sheepsh**shire, ....:rofl: |

I was actually suprised by our waste recycling operatives last week - we've just got a new mattress (old one wore out after too much hardpounding action) so the old one was in the garage awaiting me having phukall better to do than take it to the local waste recycling collection facility, anyway caught the waste recycling operatives going about their work and asked if they could lob in the back of the van - and - they said "yeah, no probs mate" - do you think this might have anything to do with their expectation of a slightly larger Xmas tip??? |

Fiona, its a Discovery, it actually costs £80-85 quid to fill once the red light has been run for about 15 miles.....

Hereabouts, waste recycling operatives are Steptoe-alikes filching the white goods from the netherland next to the waste bins at 't'top of 't'town.... |

Re: Prices in the UK
I've long since given up worrying what Nissan say my Navara should use....they have no statisticians working out campo kms, for sure... I've recently tried reducing diesel consumption & found the main issues - not sure which is worse - are speed (:o) and mountainous campo school runs (:o). Without them, (:lol:) it goes down significantly. I mentioned location because there as well as here if you're out in the sticks the price you pay goes on your fuel bill as well. If not for Morrisons' petrol station, Beccles drivers would be a lot worse off!
re recycling, I'm not just being facetious - recycling is pretty much a joke here. Coleford, deepest rural Gloucs, would make mincemeat of these guys if the EU decided to have a league table. We have recycling bins, sure, but when I do my regular weekly run, they are usually already brimful of absolute trash. Not recycling, sorted stuff, but rubbish - and I know it's not the N Europeans doing it so it has to be the locals. Sad indictment of Spanish 'green' credentials, but there you are:frown: |
