Me moan when the prices go up and call for Tony's Head, so let us congratulate him on getting the prices down 
86p a litre round here and expected to fall more.
The man should be knighted.......Sir Tony does have a certain ring about it

Was thinking similar yesterday, without the political slant.
Down to around 85p for regular petrol for the commuting car at one of the supermarkets.

Erm, tax levels etc are all exactly the same as they were before. It's just the price of crude, refining etc has come down recently, which is why we are seeing cheaper prices at the pumps. Nothing to do with Tony or NL at all...

Can't have it both ways!!
In actual fact, in real terms, the TAX take from petrol sales HAS dropped in line with the lower price!!!!!
Remarkable, Tony Blair .... we acknowledge your leadership and salute you!

You are claiming the drop is the result of nl amazing leadership, when in fact it has nothing to do with them at all. Makes you just as bad as those folks that were blaming labour in the first place in my book.

remember tonys theman that assured you and his cronies an early retirement, at our expense..
id say that makes you very much bought and paid for.
would you be crowing if all civil servants had to work until they were 70, and the rest of us stopped at 65

More like I advanced my career and started working for a company in the real world. Not one with no competitors and a guaranteed revenue from the government!
