With petrol prices predicted to go above GBP1.00 a litre next week, 

just read in my morning local paper that fuel prices are already £1/litre in 
Inverness(north east of Scotland) - just 50 miles up the road from me - of 
course our fuel prices were already more expensive so we had a head start on 
the south coast of England - our local businesses are always complaining about 
the price of fuel up here. Most of the price is tax of course - has anyone ever 
heard of a tax going down vbg

I worked pumping gas in the late-70's-early-80's when gas went over $1.00
per gallon in California.  So we went to half-pricing because the pumps
couldn't show the price above a dollar, and customers didn't like it because
they figured they were getting ripped off.  Well, they were, just not the
way they thought!  It just makes you feel older: Why, I remember when a
candy bar was 10 cents, and gas was 27 cents!
