    Default fuel prices

    I found this interesting reading from £0.02p to £1.64 a litre for petrol, with us in UK averaging £1.35.
    I realise our social commitments are vast but are they worth it for the vast differences..

    Hating people because of their colour is wrong. And it doesn't matter which colour does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

    I think you will find that Norway pays it's people a lot more than we get in Scotland, anyway, a few pence on fuel is a small price to pay to get rid of the UK parliament that is full of thieves!!!

    OK so we're paying through the nose for our fuel. It's a bummer I know. I'm waiting for a green fascist to explain how it is that we're driving around in frugal vehicles, being taxed heavily for the privilege plus paying through the nose for ANYTHING transported while in most of the countries cited large fuel guzzling 4 x 4s are the norm and their population don't give a flying fig about climate change. Grubby Britain ain't going to save the planet on it's own is it!

    So long as you get into the spirit of things by just recycling a printer toner once or year or even compost an egg carton!!
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Personally I have never found relieving myself into the wind a pleasant experience.
    'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me,
    There's something going wrong around here

    Yes and most people don't realise the gravity of the situation.

    I dont think many folk use toner, its a bit on the pricey side for normal light printer use.

    It might well be a very grave situation but IMO we've been told so many lies and half truths we don't know who to believe. We just see some people making a lot of money off the back of this green agenda while telling us its for our own good. If it is so important the grubbiement should cut the profit margins and fund the new technology so ordinary members of the population can be part of the drive for change instead of being made to feel they're part of the problem! Call me a cynic but if the rest of the world is going to hell in a handbasket what makes you think Grubbie Britain will be able to save it?
