Well a tankfull of fuel for my car will cost at lot more than that. £140
Maybe time for a change

As for the £30k of fuel for the Tornado to Libya ............................ Don't get me wrong on this but today my wife was told that one of her 'service users' (elderly person clients ----- she is a Carer-----) has had her care cut to only 15 mins care per day from now on due to cuts in funding. This lady lives alone and cannot even stand up on her own. My wife spends at least 1 hour per day looking after her (morning lunch and evening) but gets paid for 15 mins = £1.71.
I know what I think 'but sups to you the individual'
This is not an isolated case.

Sorry rant over.
So sorry Englishman, hope I haven't stopped your thread.
