my heart bleeds....

America has changed since my last visit in 2009. It has lost a little of its individualism, yes the global market has got to Uncle Sam too. Since Democrat President Obama first came to power the price of fuel has gone from $1.87 to $3.87 a US gallon


in old monies thats £1.15 to £2.38....about (say) double...ish

Don't forget that a US gallon is less than an imperial gallon.

1 UK gallon = 1.2 US gallon

or

1 US gallon = 0.84 UK gallons

I occasionally read the Jock section but dont comment noted youd been sorting him out :D

Theres right wing and extreme right wing in effect TWEEDLE DUMB AND TWEEDLE DEE but even you would have to admit Labour would be more beneficial to the working class than the Tory's ???

There are many in Labour determined to take it much further LEFT me included :D :D :D :D
