Thought the very same whilst filling up at the weekend. It is such a rip off.
50 quid to fill mine up from just over a quarter of a tank. Robbing cunts |

No idea whatsoever.
Probably the price of carrots or something.
Horrible feeling of everything closing in on me

Yes, absolutely. But the oil producers have the rest of the world by the bollocks. They make the rules...and will continue to do so until someone finds a whizzy way to produce a cheap alternative means of producing energy that is sustainable.
Every time you fill up your car, Man City's title hopes receive a little boost.
Am I missing something here? Surely 80% or more of the petrol price is this country is tax?? |

It's a bit of both. Tax is certainly very high, but the price of a barrel of crude oil is also very high - and it's that price that is basically set by OPEC.

Apparently its somewhere around 65% fuel duty + VAT on average on fuels in the UK.
So on £1.43.3 per litre of petrol the fuel duty is 60.97p add another 23.88p in VAT and 5p goes to the retailer making the cost price of the fuel 53.44p.

The annoying thing is that as the price of crude goes up, so does fuel, but as the price of crude comes down the prices at the petrol stations don't really come down in the same way. It's no different than the cunty energy companies as well.
I hope they all go out of business when some clever cunt susses some sort of science fiction style limitless energy thing.

Found out today I didn't get the job that is replacing my current job. I've now got to wait a week to see if I get offered a suitable alternative and if not I'll be given notice. My notice period is 10 weeks and I could still be offered a suitable alternative up to the last day of my notice. Basically I'm in limbo for nearly 3 months not knowing whether I'm going to get redundancy or not.

 Good luck, not that saying that helps. |

You have my sympathy - that is pretty much the situation I was in a couple of years ago. I went down the route of starting my own business, but I am now looking for work again. Things are shit out there at the moment, hang in if you can. |

Are you keeping the T-shirt business as a sideline, or are the margins too small? Good luck to you both. |
