Funny how Total seem to be humping it up to £141.9?? No wonder the 24 hour Total was deserted last night when they hiked it up.

Do you know I looked out of the window about half an hour a go and thought is it Sunday?? There's nothing on our road at all today, if it's going to be like this lets have £1.50 a gallon quick. Only kidding. 8)

as the price goes UP, profits (and therefore income tax) goes DOWN, plus im vat regd when most are not, so while im not happy about the rises im better placed than those on contract who arent vat regd

just clobber your tax returns and pay no income tax!
