Tax and the like are high in this country, but the original prce of the oil is kept artificially high. Indeed they are, but crude oil is sold for the same price around the world, and when the final market product sells in the US for a third of what it does in America - making the UK tax markup even...

Tax and the like are high in this country, but the original prce of the oil is kept artificially high. If you think this is high, wait until it starts to run out It won't happen s...

The 3 franchises were merged into the 'Greater Anglia' franchise, this was won by National Express who started (as One railways) on the 1st April. This is the new strategy by the Strategic Rail Authority - bigger franchises and less of them. This is being done in part by having one operator per Lond...

Ahhhh.... Response-o-matic looks like just what I was after thanks.
