This Are Getting Too Expensive.

[Oidz]

Although my dad works as a project engineer at a place called Airbus he keeps telling me, things are getting expensive and stuff is rising and the time I get older and have a car and a job houses will be cheaper but the cost of food and petrol will rise.

I agree with my dad I know he can afford some good things I mean he bought a 22 inch SAMSUNG Monitor from PC World He bought me
Grand Theft Auto IV, Age OF Conan, Guitar Hero III/With Les Paul Controller and got me rockband in all of 3 months.

Games are going for what now £49.99 Or £44.99 and your getting PS3 which we also got for £300'ish.

How are people expected to live on food with the cost of stuff and the rising of petrol, when we get older we shall see how much it is to get a 1L Of Petrol or a full shopping basket of food.

[Mario]

This are getting expensive indeed.
the price of living has gone up.

[Alkaz]

Move to another country where it is cheaper, england is one of the most expensive places to live on the earth. But ye, you complain about that money but millions of people are buying them so the companies can charge us these rediculous prices. I think on non essential items like games etc should have a government tax but not on things like fuel.. food etc.

[jesus]

It's outrageous in this country. I'm actually considering moving countries when I'm older.

[Alkaz]

Ye ^^ But obviously to an english speaking country. If we all move out then things will crash then we can come back ;)

[buttons]

ye, hi, tesco value. LOLol.

[jesus]

Ye ^^ But obviously to an english speaking country. If we all move out then things will crash then we can come back ;)Gibraltar! It's like Britain/England in every was as it's one of our colonies. They've got English police, Royal Mail and even the red public telephone boxes. Just like England except sunny! (not sure about the prices over there actually but it's nice!). :)

[shizzle]

Yes, I agree.

[Alkaz]

Yah! Even if it costs the same atleast we get some decent weather which is something we rarely get here!

[Firehorse]

you know the actual price of fuel is 34p per litre? The oil company takes about 12p per litre and the government takes about 70p or more. Thats why it's so high. Fuel goes up and everything else follows.

[JessicaLOL]

i wudnt move out of england lmao
thats y ppl need a gd education now becuz in afew years ur gnna need a good job to survive..

[Judge Judy]

Well I'm off to France after Uni with my family (well I plan too). I speak the language which is fine and the prices are cheaper there.

Which reminds me of my grandma going "How much is this brandy?" and my dad going "about £7" and then she was taking the whole shelf of brandy with her lolol

Stock up.
By them gas canisters, and keep 'em in your garage. You can fit loads in.
Just, if they explode there'll be a small crater where your street used to be.


Buy stuff abroad and skip taxes. What I do with cigs (to sell on), try to with alcohol, don't with fuel though. Don't use it.

[Redacted]

Lol, Gibraltar looks gorgeous!

[Geraint]

We've only got ourselves to blame really. We're using too much oil. Oil is needed to make petrol and once oil levels start going down, petrol prices start going up which means that companies have to pay more to distribute goods around the country and to keep the same profit, they have to up their prices.

I don't think it's bad, in supermarkets food is cheap and stuff. I guess if you live in the inner city area in one of those flats or the ghetto it might be bad. I think living costs and bills are worse than fuel or food, people just seem to overreact whenever something goes up by like 1p.

[Adam$]

I pay £1.30 a litre for diesel in some places, the prices are disgusting. I remember it used to be near to £1 a litre, it's likely to rise more aswell.

[PaintYourTarget]

But different sources of energy will be developed which will be cheaper and reusable. Just apply that to shipping methods and the cost should start falling again. If we can power Submarines and Aircraft Carriers with nuclear reactors, why can't Oil tankers and Carge Ships be powered that way? Sure it'll be riskier but it'll lower shipping costs.

But, at the moment if you move abroad for five years all student loans get wiped clean. I know a fair few of my friends are moving to Austrialia or America to practise medicine and law once they graduate.

Though, these rising costs don't really bother me - Going for Officers selection after I get my A Level results. Wont have to pay for petrol when I can go and fight for it instead.

I saw in a petrol station in Leeds that Diesel was 139.9p quite bad really.

I think i'll move to germany or australia. I have an australian passport aswell as british and i'm sure it's cheaper there. Germany aren't too bad on prices. I think the UK government needs to lay back a bit. They try to enforce every single thing we do and the only reason why they are one of the richest governments in the world is because of the tax rates. It's almost communism because they take more money from the richer people and give it to the poor. Here's an idea.. forget work, just apply for a council house and they'll pay for your food. Why would you care? The people who work hard pay for it.

If people really protested like in the 70s and the 80s then we would make a difference. It's because people are scared and that they are greedy short term for their pay.

[Judge Judy]

I saw on a news bulletin on BBC that people are now protesting for fuel costs.

Texas is where it's at in the United States in terms of CHEAP houses.

Yeah, Happening at most places around the world. Its getting stupid to be honest. Also your dad has a cool job for a cool company :P

Lidl is your answer.

As the cost of living in the uk goes up, people will start to get payed more, but that wont happen for a while yet.

[Abbie.]

were i work more and more people are driving off without paying for their petrol, its actually so annoying lol (but u cant just charge it too their credit card if they bought something with their card, or pass their number plate on to the police)

the average cost that people spend at a time on petrol is like £60, which is ridiculus..

I often spend £30-£70 on diesel, what do you do if someone pisses off without paying?

fuel on screen goes red after 30mins, look back at cctv at around that time to see who put petrol in their cars, and if they came in and payed, if they didnt, their details gets passed on to the police, or if they came in and bought something with a credit/debit card, u can charge it to the card

[RedStratocas]

people are idiots.

in america anyway. the gas prices are getting pretty ridiculously high, and everyone is trying to get everybody in on a scheme to get them back down (like planning "don't buy gas day" or "don't buy from exxon) all of which won't work. the price of gas goes up because everyone is buying it. the only way to get gas prices down is if less gas was bought. aka, RIDE THE DAMN BUS. if we're buying the same amount of gas, it wont get cheaper. its really simple economics, i don't understand why people don't get that. gas companies can charge whatever the hell they want, you don't have to buy it. no one is making you. find another way to get around if you don't like it.

[Papershop]

The rising cost of living is covered by the slight increase in minimum wage. For everything that happeneds, another thing happens to counter balance the economy.

[Hiro]

You serious?
Of course prices are going to rise. It's all economics and the fact that fossil fuels are decreasing, yes, petrol, electricity, etc will rise.
Prices are always on the rise, it's supply and demand, economics, profit, etc.
You just have to live with it and stop complaining.
As for food, what people don't realise is that you can live on very little for a week, you can even grow your own vegetables, but no one gets off their *** to do it, therefore there are less for sale which makes prices go up.
Simple business and economics that no one seems to understand, so they just sit around complaining they can't afford anything, when they don't make an effort to save anything.
Most of UK expect cash-in-hand in a flick of a switch, our society has been brought into the concept that "money grows off trees"..
It's all downhill from here, the next generation is pretty much buggered unless the apocalypse doesn't occur before then..
