This Are Getting Too Expensive.

[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.



119,979 pounds.

what do you get for that kind of money in the UK?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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..
