Filled up twice this week, and each time it's gone up by another penny! It's way past being ridiculous now, and where do the government get off telling us inflation is going down? Where are they getting their figures from? Fuel costs at an all time high, the average weekly shop going through the roof! They must think we are all mugs!

Actually I think we are all mugs.

Thank God for phoney wars, natural disasters, and the like filling up the news or maybe we might notice the NHS being privatised. The bankers carrying on where they left off. The country going down the pan.

When is this country going to grow some, and start doing something about it? Oh..... maybe Cameron will send in the Nato Bombers!

Come on! Lets burn some sheep or something!


Sorry rant over......I'll go find my tablets.:mad:

    "Inflation" describes a percentage rise in the price of goods, year on year.
    Inflation can drop and prices still increase. If you ignore fluctuations in the prices of some items, prices do not decrease unless we have negative inflation.

    Chill out!

    We've got a Royal Wedding to enjoy in less than a fortnight.

    My God, we've paid for it in taxes & duty, so we may as well enjoy it.

    And it promises to be the Biggest Royal Blow Out for 30 years.

    BREAKING NEWS:Kate Middleton orders three different dresses from three designers, to maintain element of surprise on Big Day.

    That's another 5p on a litre!

    Unfortunately I cant afford enough petrol to burn anything..
  • Why are you blaming bankers ?

    Do you have the slightest inkling of what they do, how much they are paid or why or are you just jumping on the bandwagon bemoaning that your car doesn't do enough mpg and you've got a heavy right foot ?

    Good grief! Calm down. It's only an internet forum!

    The OP has got a good point, though.

    The term "banker" loosely describes any form of City low-life who swindles us out of money.

    And through their manipulation of the Oil Spot Market, speculators are heavily to blame for the surging price of crude.

    Returning home earlier in the week, after a 120 mile round trip, I was glad I bought a car that gives me a consistent 59mpg.... until I remembered just how much a bl00dy gallon costs these days.

    You wouldn't need petrol to burn a banker.

    They are combustible as it is, living off the fat of the land, as they do.

    It was Gerry Adams who called for burning the bank bondholders.

    It should be a national celebration, like Guy Fawkes' Night.

    my old volvo bless her, gives me 20mpg round and about.

    59? don't moan.
