Why do we stand for this, The majority of us pay our taxes and try to better ourselves but constantly find ourselves paying for the minority who have not made the right choices or paid there way.

When are we going to stand up and stop taking this S**t, only in numbers can we do something about this.

Rest assured if the Lib Dems get in with there pro Eco theories fuel will go up more and as for Cameron well I have a drier blanket in my washing machine than what he is so really if Gordon goes I see things getting no better.

Rant over

PS 117.9 in wellington for standard unleaded nearest M5 services want 122.9 for the same

Totally agree with you...change will come, but not through any of the political parties/systems we have in place now

Ha ha ha, i still go faster than Runt....only 80 (er..35 officer), but generally yes 35 - 40 is the speed limit, but no cameras over here! And quite a few straight roads.

MPG is not bad actually although i have never calculated how much, if i drive it every weekend it would be £40 a month.

We've not met, but that still doesn't mean I can't go off you! £40 a month? FFS man!

Change will sadly only come if we get everyone currently in parliament replaced. Now Guy Fawkes had one way, but I suspect we'll have to vote everyone out.

So DO NOT vote for any existing MP.

£40 a month!!! Either your engine isn't big enough or your Island is far too small.

What do you do for £40 of fuel. Drive round your lounge?

£40, That lasts me about 6 months!
Actually I think it evaporates faster than I use it!
