First Merc cylinder head in orbit?

Alcazar

 

It would be like giving an elderly lady some pure cocaine

 

Those people. The ones wandering around Amsterdam off their faces shouting at each other in Cockney accents. They're not Dutch!


Oh and I filled up with 98 octane super @ 1.23 this morning. Lease includes fuel, so not really my problem.

 

1.23 what?

 

Eur 1.599 = Gbp 1.23 or thereabouts.

 

Ah, I see.

The strong Euro makes our prices look even MORE expensive.

Cheap for you of you have to enter this now rotten Isle

 

Its ok quoting petrol prices...But what about average wages of the countries ??

£1.05 a litre is fine if your on £50k a year..But the average wage around these parts is around £17k-£20k i would guess..Of which you must spunk 50% on tax,and another 15-20% on your mortgage/council tax,then road fund liscence and insurance.Food prices and heating prices have risen way above inflation..And these are just the essentials to live..

Actually leaving you **** all for working all week..

 

Just bought myself an LPG merc.

***** to shelling out 107p a litre. £25 to fill it looks good to me.

 

Interesting reading but.....


Look at Norway, i've been over here and spoke to people about this.

1.17 is a lot but when you take into account a factory worker earns 15 quid an hour, comparable to wages its a lot less than what we pay!

 

Exactly !!!
