Still can't take a joke, I see

I don't quite see your correlation between oil prices and your idea that I have any political persuasions.
I've told you before - I don't have any.

Is Brent Crude not oil?

Look, I'll make this really, really simple for you.
'Some' people like the oil price to be very, very high.

It's 142.9p for V-Power here in Leic. (and 136.9p for 97 RON). Has been for at least 2-3 months now...

FFS. I can remember back in c.1991 unleaded was 172.9p......... a GALLON!!! Works out at 38p/l

So that's a whopping increase of c.360% in only 20 years!

Simple is about all you can manage from the evidence presented here.

If YOU can't afford it then don't drive.
IF you CAN afford it then just shut the **** up moaning. You can't change it.

And oil traded yesterday at $115 per barrel.
I could care less how much it costs. We are being ripped off, as usual.
And I feel totally justified in moaning about it.

You most certainly don't come anywhere near, so please don't flatter yourself poppet.
You see, some of us can act simple.
We don't feel the need to act intellectual.

You have a sure sign of insecurity. Get some help ASAP!

All the best.

Lee, of course you can moan about it.

It's just f1_fan - he's not allowed to.

But then, there is absolutely nothing that we can do to change it.
Nothing.

Well if you are acting simple it's a good act. Method acting I would say.

I would wish you all the best too, but I don't so I won't!

Not sure about petrol, but diesel has dropped 3/4p per litre in the last couple of weeks in my local garage.

Your hero Osbourne promised he was going to watch the petrol companies like a hawk (his words, not mine) and yet here we being royally shafted!!!
You poor deluded people...... Cameron's mates OWN the petrol companys, of course they'er watching them like hawks....... looking for any and every oppertunity to increase prices

Not deluded here, I am under no illusions that Osbourne only said what he said to pay lip service to the deluded portion of the electorate who think politicians give a crap about the country and the average working man.

Cameron and his fellow pigs at the trough are very happy to have the petrol price sky high as they think it helps the tax revenues and of course their pals in the oil companies. Let's see how smug they look when the economy falls completely on its **** as the effect of the spiralling cost of petrol and essentials like services and food take a real hold.

Sadly not although I don't think they have quite plumbed their depths just yet.

Gloomy economic forecasts this morning due to high inflation caused by....... rising fuel prices

Thats nothing more than another jobs worth trying to justify his salary.

As a country we need to oust the present politicians and the last lot.... make them sign on the dole etc and get some fresh blood running the country...
I just cant see how we need to make sweeping cuts across the board and still fund countrys that house terrorists , and lets not forget our kids being sent to die fighting illegal wars in another country that doesnt want us there.
while MPs just increase thier expenses claims to cover any inflation

If fuel prices go up, do we have to pay more VAT?

That would be as good a reason for popularity with the government as any!

Not just fuel, Just had a TESCO delivery today.......... £266

I know we've had Dominic but that's a more than a doubling of the cost of a food shop 10 years ago. BBC news troday says that basics will double in the next 20 years........ Blimey
