The price of petrol in Britain is beyond, even diesel is not much better, I know many families and businesses who are really hurting and struggling to stay afloat.
While we're in this situation, we could have saved ourselves by using public transport and the railways as a commuting alternative, however some arsehole thought it a brilliant idea to axe thousands of miles of our infrastructure. We're screwed in this regard since parts of it have been sold off to property development meaning we can never put it back the way it was and worse still we have to still maintain those structures of the disused network or forced into spending millions turning them into bloody cycle tracks.
At least the Americans were smart enough to keep these permanent ways intact and have laws protecting them being developed upon should they return to profitability, but not this country's government, oh no, short-term solution long-term nightmare is the best we can manage. >.>
And don't even get me started on car insurance.
