@Georgi - I don't know where you live but after spending over 13 years commuting by train in London I am actually now relieved to pay for petrol! It may sound contradictory but if you are talking about getting to work, petrol is cheaper than trains (even when I was driving a Rover 827i Sterling!) it is more comfortable, you can listen to your music as loud as you like without complaint and you don't have to have your nose in someone's sweaty armpit on a crowded carriage.

Needless to say - petrol is still way expensive - especially as there are no obvious signs of the revenue being spent on our roads....

@Mr Sleep

I visited Marlborough in Wiltshire last year and unleaded was 104p per litre when everywhere else in the country we were complaining at 85p. That garage has since gone out of busines...

But seriously i agree with a large amount of your Yshania's post. The UK is becoming more and more effulent but still it holds a large degree of crime and degredation, something must be wrong.
@Sleep, if you intended that pun on "affluent/effluent," my hat's off to you, even though I don't own one.

Hmmm. Yshania, I sympathise entirely with your views. Check out some old threads, I'm building a Spam-army to smite world governments. Try it, you might like it.

Yours,

General Grunt.

But then the majority of the world's government are run by expert spammers! We will need some unique ideas if we are to have any impact.....

Hmmm, lets see in the US:

Health care- sucks
Justice system - sucks (unless you are rich)
Media - the bastards keep racial prejudice going strong, so the media sucks
Gas prices - suck
UN - sucks Where is the peace you keep promising you idjits?

I could go on and on, it just sucks.

@Mr Sleep - lol!

For every 10 quid we give to Africa I am sure they buy one scythe for the farmers and a bottle of whiskey to keep the militia quiet

@Weasel, with due respect, you just don't balance out Dubbyah. Sorry.
