jfk Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Noticed a steep rise in petrol today too. Filled up the brat-carrier at asda on monday (think it was £1.19 a litre for unleaded), cost £53 to fill her up (mpv car - like a citreon picasso). Driving around today, noticed unleaded at £1.25 and £1.30.... christ on a crutch. ... will be interesting to note how much to fill her up costs next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Winger Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hmm...rather a costly lifestyle I'd say. The best protest is to vote with your feet. Just refuse to play their game. Eg: Diesel: ditch the car and get a bicycle, or a moped/scooter if you need to go longer distances. Cigs: smoke less, cut them out, change to roll ups or a pipe, grow your own baccy or get it on a booze cruise. Roll and coffee in a cafe: get a thermos and a tupperware sandwich box. Loaf of bread: invest in a breadmaking machine. Death seems an increasingly attractive proposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattW Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The Chinese will all be buying cars while we'll be buying mopeds and bicycles. All part of the great West to East wealth transfer. Oh dear Lord. Maybe I should learn Chinese and emigrate there. How much does a typical 2 bedroom apartment cost in Shanghai? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
