    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
