lui Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Fuel prices to high / house prices Ridculus / cost of living drains your blood only thing that needs to be high is your wages but that never seems to go up as fast as everything else looks like the sytem of living needs to be change & i feel well sorry for most of the younger population in making a start for the future well who knows things might change but doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 The thing that really takes the piss is when you hear about the profits the like of BP and Shell are making. But apparently they're not making it at the forecourts. My arse. Profit is proft. Instead of making 30billion quid profit total, why not make 20 and knock a penny off the forecourt price? Can someone explain it to me???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a below cost of living pay rise this year. We were told the cost of living had risen by somthing like 3% and that we were only getting 1.5%. That's a bloody pay cut in my book. 3%??? My fecking arse. If that figure is dictated by government, then surely that should mean that it costs 3% more to do this year, the things you did last year? If you get a corresponding 3% rise then effectively you'll be just as well of this year as last year. I still don't get it? WTF is going on?

They have to stop letting America go to war with people lol !! don't think the people who arrange strike action are going to bother - esp with the "support" they got last time.... plus its the truckers/farmers who did the proper strike all those years ago - but now they are fed by government too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Its not the fault of the fuel companies.... they have a product which a masssive percentage of the population/business use on a regular basis... a huge profit will be the result everytime. Its not them which are taking the p$$. The high price of fuel at the pumps is purely down to the government and their stupid level of tax. And its also down to their new laws of terroism in which the general public are no longer able to protest about the tax levels by direct action. Because if you do, you are now classed as a terroist along with the 9/11 suicide bombers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not them which are taking the p$$. 30 billion pound anual profit says it is. I mean don't get me wrong, the government is also taking the piss big style. But they're not the only ones. Isn't tax on fuel still frozen? If it is then the recent hikes are solely down to the fuel companies. Which I could understand if they were trying to keep the profit margins the same as for last year but 30 billion???? That's a lot of cash.

Look how much the government is making for doing absolutely F$$k all....a LOT more than 30 billion... The petrol companies have to invest in ongoing exploration to satisfy our greedy appetite for petroleum products...and it's not cheap. Shell recently invested $800 million in one single oil exploration block...so it doesn't take too many of those to get through a few billion...
