Yeah Everett I cannot be bothered converting sterling to dollars and litres to gallons and then gallons to the USA shortchanged gallon. I just know that petrol and diesel is way way way more expensive here than elsewhere. Not only is there heavy tax and duty to pay but they then add VAT on as well. Cigs have gone up to over £7 for a pack of twenty and beer is over £3 per pint....now I mean a full pint not the US half measure pint.
The three things I cannot live without are Fuel beer and cigs and each one is taxed to the hilt. They all cost pennies to produce but are taxed to hit the pocket of the working man.
