agrifabs 0 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Have any of you tried the diesel dye you can get to turn diesel blue funny you should mention that, a bloke i used to work with said that he used to dye red diesel blue, and his excuse was going to be if he was dipped was that he was dyeing his diesel blue because people had been stealing his diesel... not sure if that would work... i doubt it though.. its about time the government pulled their fingers out of each others arses and realise that THEY are ruining OUR country. its odd, the people who work get taxed the most, but if your a lazy fecker and you cant be bothered to work then they pay you?!!!? how stupid is that, so really speaking, if we all deecide not to work - we will all get paid dole! but what the dozy feckers dont realise is that if we all stop working, we wont have a country at all... so why dont they start rewarding the peole who work for the country and penalise the one who refuse to work by not giving them their dole.? does'nt make sense.

bshadle 5 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Wow! Guess we have no reason to complain over here. Last fill-up with 87 octane regular gasoline here was $3.89 USD/US Gallon. If my math is right converting to liters and GBP works out to about 0.52 GBP/L. Diesel is about 25% higher than gasoline here. Not sure how you folks do it there. We have so many people here complaining about the price, our more liberal legislators have already threatened to nationalize our oil companies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SEAN3513 7 Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 its not the cost of the fuel thats the problem...................its....as always....the tax!!!!!!!!!!1 this is why we have to do somthing..............becuase it can NOT be blamed on material costs. and the price can be cut overnight...............i know we have to pay tax............but we are paying tax on tax on tax!!!!!!!!!!! you pay tax on your earnings you pay tax on fuel ( plus VAT by the way) road tax VAT on most purchaes you pay tax on your savings ( that youv'e already paid tax on) if you die and leave your money to your kids they pay tax on it all again!!!!! its ok the government saying income tax is only 22%.........if you factor in all the other tax we pay on everything else it probably works out to be the equivilant of 50% plus. what can we do..............protest!!!..............refuse to pay!!...................no...... we'll just keep on putting up with it as we always do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
