Independent Tele Vorderman, nuff said. When stuff gets nicked, I reckon that the government should cough up the 'taxed' proportion of the goods stolen. If it cost the government the tax of things stolen, perhaps they would take crime a little more seriously than they do. The earthquakes in Turkey in August 1999 were caused by the Spice Girls. No disrespect to the tragedy itself, but because the Spice Girls failed to get to number 1 in the UK charts, left Run DMC and Its Like That at the top of the charts, resulting in many more plays of the heavy bass sound, the vibrations working their way through the earth and causing tectonic plates to shift.
Taxation is ridiculous.
The switch from imperial to metric has given them the excuse to put prices up beyond the understanding of those filling up. 1 gallon is 4.5 litres, so that means 1 penny is 4.5 pence a gallon, Stuff the litre, understand the gallon rip off. Boycott fuel pumps every Monday. It disrupts the fuel supply chain, and hits the suppliers. So typical of you.
