    The escalator has been suspended, but just wait for the price rise anyway in fuel (which the Gov't will get as a percentage anyway) due to, "uncertainty of supply".

    Are you suggesting prices will drop, solely because of this announcement?

    Gee thanks, guv'nor - I'll have a bottle of cider to celebrate, before I head out for the bingo, Mr Chancellor, sir.


    Are we really meant to be grateful for this 'crumb from the master's table'?

    if they actually dropped the duty on fuel that would really give people more money in their pockets!!
