Tonight we have reached an unfortunate state of affairs – £5 a gallon of petrol – that’s $10 a gallon of petrol to Americans. Pricey isn’t it? This on top of the news that the major oil companies here, Shell and BP, have earned billions – not on us purchasing petrol of course but on oil.

And even better, the government is going to add another 2 pence tax in the near future. Thank God I don’t own and run a car or I’d be so far in debt I’d be going to debtor’s prison.
