I haven't studied politics, BUT, fuel prices effect everything. Tesco will put up their prices as it will cost them more to transport goods, less people will buy goods - bad for business? I honestly believe if they cut fuel duty then more people would have money to spend on goods that would be cheaper in the first place. The US put hardly any tax on their fuel, a full tank in an RS6 there is £35, here it is £115 - how can there be so much difference? Also, our roads are so crap, I recently drove from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, it took six hours and I did it in one hit, felt like a two hour journey in the UK. In fact, even driving in Holland/Germany/France/Belghuim the roads are so much better. But if it's any consolation, I know people in Holland pay about £1,000 for road tax, and the Italians pay something ridiculous too, a lot more then the Dutch.
I was following the budget online whilst at work, noticed that stamp duty went up by 2% on homes worth more then £2million from tonight, I didn't realise it would go up immediately, I think there should be a notice period, what if someone had just made an offer on a house and were exchanging contracts tomorrow, would be a bit frustrating, no?
Also, why the heck are trains so damn expensive? I need to get down to London next week, so I priced up a return journey on the train in standard class, £121! By comparison, it would cost £50-55 in the RS6, and would take an hour less, had I gone in a 2.0 D it would cost me about £19, and they want us to use public transport?
