Unreal how we live and expect sometimes. We are busy ringing around to see who filled their car actually up!

Balancing finances in a travelling job on lower and lower budgets has hit quicker and harder than I thought it would ,although it was inevitable.

It`s a horrid thought that you may have to leave a weeks wages in your car if you live in a slightly outlying area.

Nice one on Tesco as well. All the local independent garages shut one by one due to the growing monopoly they take in rural areas, leaving one choice only in certain regions.
A friend of mine asked recently &quot;where does one buy fuel these days?&quot;
I replied &quot;motorways.&quot;
No good if you can`t get there though due to escalating bills and managing a budget though is it?

I am not the hardest hit by any means, just inconvenienced for now, but, my word some people must be really finding it hard and I wish all readers the best of luck with this situation too.[/quote]

Mart	Actually, I`m re-thinking on your thoughts there ITK. Do you know what? What a wonderful life it would be if the government did take all at source, pay all people what they are worth in respect of their jobs and , of course do all our paperwork saving it from coming into our houses, so that everyone can just get on with their work. Jeez! Is that Marxist??
Mart	Good point ITK. I pay little tax due to business expenses, however, the fees are not going up.

I heard an interesting discussion on this subject recently (particularly in regard to those who claim that fuel is cheaper elsewhere). You have to take into account the WHOLE package - not just parts of it - so people who say that fuel duty is much cheaper on the Continent should also remember to factor-in Income Tax too. In Holland basic tax rate is 45% (double what it is here) although fuel duty is lower. So - do you want the government to take more of your money at source - or be left with more for YOU to decide how it is spent ?
Mart	I completely agree with you BR and I`m glad you picked up on my , kind of ironic view point as a UK citizen, mildly irritating of course, but in the grand scheme of things , worth little. Now , I may be wrong here, but does our part of the world still pay the most for fuel?(I recall Eire was worse) Politically and financially, does this not make us a pawn in these "Oil Wars", in the UK and not the world leaders that this little collection of Island units believes it is?
