Have to be pretty phucked up to go get a Ginsters Special Gristle Bake though!

Sure the workers at these factories will be made up at deflating prices....

I find that I can only worry about stuff I understand, and any phrase involving the words 'deflationary' and 'vortex' are, by definition, too confusing for me. Thus no real concern.

I vote for the cheaper petrol and I'll chance my arm in the vortex.

Come to something when we call $60 a barrel and £1 a litre for petrol deflationary :eek: What price was petrol when the fuel protestors were about ? was it about 80p a litre?

Thats like so yesterday though innit.

I'm sorry but lower fuel prices is like manna from heaven for me....

Oh and I don't have a job but do have a car, I have to have a car wether working or not! In the winter, it could make the difference between putting the heating on for an hour to warm ourselves up.

Blimey Halight, are you on a personal mission to break the 'most links posted on this board in one day' award?

Just so you know, Brit1234 posted 42 articles in one day on the downfall of BTL, all with massive red fonts, pictures and lots of :D:D on 23rd June 2008, so that's what you've got to beat.

No Cleaver i was just reading the online paers this morning and as i do every morning and just posted the links that i thourt might satrt intresting debate. Or posts that might be of intrest to folks
I only really started posting links a few weeks ago. BUt iv read the online papers for years.

On the price of petro Well it dont really bother me how much it costs as the doctors took my lienece off me a few years ago.
The only thing that afcets me with the oil price is the costs of the goods i buy in the shops. Oil goes up costs of goods goes up:mad:

There is an interesting point here though.

Fuel prices increased drastically last year, as oil was over $140 a barrel. We're now at $60 a barrel. I take that we've had a duty rise, but why haven't fuel costs come down yet?

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

Cheers.

We have seen a cut from 120 - 2 factors stopped it from being more - oil is priced in USD and cable has fallen a lot and of course main issue is that most of the price is tax - price of the actual fuel is just 'noise' in comparison.






Why is it called cable?

Ingsy

Because the data and transaction details used to be transmitted via a cable across the atlantic.
