Its a way of life, if you dont like it go on public transport.
I fill up about twice a week at £70 a pop, I do not like it but I cant change it No disrespect Ash, but that post sums up the Great British public to a tee.

Hey Don and Herthab.
Brilliant counter arguments. Very incisive. You should both be on question time. Well you are on a Football Forum i suggest if it is good counter arguments you want then you should get on question time.

Every thursday  :shock: And I thought I was sad! FWIW, I'd be inclined to say both Lumps and Colin are right - while the rise may be down to market forces, the fact it hurts so much is because petrol prices are so high in the first place which is due to the huge amount of tax on petrol in this country. But that's not uniquely down to the current government although whichever government is in power is going to get blamed for it (and rightly so - they could change it if they wanted to). And to describe New Labour as in any way "socialist" is simply laughable.

I used to avidly watch Question Time when Robin Day was the host. Watched intermittently since, but it's all bollocks. Politicians just avoid answering questions and try and deflect any blame onto rival parties.
And there's not enough bow ties on it now either........

I wanted to make a point to the education minister
I believe that you can judge a teenager’s potential between the ages of 14- 16 yrs old so why would it not be beneficial for kids of this age to be doing 2 days a week employment for a company. For example a lad of 14 who is bottom of every class could be given the chance to work as a plumber gaining two years experience instead of failing every exam not qualifying for college and then doing fuckall with his life because he has constantly been told he is not good enough at something.
If you tell people from an early age that they are not as good as other people all the time 9/10 of them will end up doing fuckall with their lives
(I would not have sworn if david had asked me though)
And Bushey stop being so immature

I only wanted to have a go at the chainmail spammers. Or at least see if anyone did believe the spam, if they were sufficiently worried about petrol going to £123.9 per litre that I could sell them a few litres at the bargain "Beat the price rises" special discount rate of only £105 a litre.
