Yes I've noticed it's been creeping up for the last 6-7 weeks. It's £1.16 a litre round here now.

Wouldn't have anything to do with the crash in the exchange rate would it?

I got too near the truth regarding Cab Drivers intellect or lack of, with of course your invaluable assistance Cabby John :lol: :lol:

Naturally the truth is deemed offensive to those inflicted with that deficiency and the leaders of the grovelling Associations :wink: :wink: :wink:

Never allow the truth to be debated .............................typical of this Nation and the cretinous minded eejits with their fingers upon the CENSORSHIP BUTTON #-o

I suspect it was locked because no f***er could follow it with all those missed quotes, and then people quoting the missed quotes.

It would appear we might be having a Why 3 soon.

Certainly allow the truth to be debated but why pepper the debate with senseless vitriol?

That turns it into one persons rant rather than a meaningful debate.

and fuel will soar in price because of the fears over the pound - and because of brexit the pound is losing value against the dollar - and we buy oil in dollars - I hope the daily mail readers will be happy when it reaches £1.50p per litre.

Not totally a senseless idea! Export more because the pound is cheaper, buy less because the pound is dearer, it should give us a better balance of payment -apparently that would be good for the country :roll:

P.S. Your beloved EU gave us HIGH fuel prices for years - I guess that was also the fault of Brexiteers for not voting out sooner :lol:

We'll find out in due course - my beloved EU?

I was only 6 when people voted to enter it.

Lets wait until the car manufacturers like Nissan and Ford pull out and Airbus no longer see it as right to stay here.

Personally I don't trust our government to give out the subsidies to farmers that the EU currently mandates, I don't trust the government to protect the rights of workers, and standards wise - if we're going to have to export all of those cheap UK goods even without some sort of tariff - we'd still have to adhere to EU standards.

When the vote was taken to go in, it was for NOTHING like that it has turned out. It was similar to the promises of us all benefitting from North Sea gas, once again lies. To then panda to "Farmers subsidies" or what might happen to our car industry (ha ha) is a joke, as we have had our industry decimated by the EU since we joined. Prior to the EU, industry thrived, young people earned enough money to afford mortgages and the National debt was a darned sight smaller than it is today. Perhaps you can tell us how in hells name is the EU working for ANYONE, and by that I include 27 other countries in the EU.

Ask yourself this; Is it better to stay with a bankrupt/corrupt organisation because of possible short term gain, or do you take the pain now for a better future for your grandchildren? We managed very well being out of the EU for hundreds maybe thousands of years - it was better then and with British resolve it will be in the future.

My days of earning have now stopped, along with my savings being decimated through poor interest rates! So do I regret voting out.......... not for one minute.........not for one mili second.

P.S. I don't trust governments period - they are not there in the right sense, for you and I.
